I have only ever been to the store once, And I can't even remember what I was there for, That isn't important
I was looking for the Coralife Aqualight Digital Power Center, and seen it on their site for $27.99.
So I called the store to see if they had any of them in stock, and maybe I could pick one up for the internet price.
A young sounding girl answers the phone for the fish dept, and I hear some running water in the background, So she is either around aquariums, or going to the bathroom, either way, I wasn't concerned with the running water sound.
I ask her polietly if they carry any "Coralife Aqualight digital power centers".
she responds with "Ummmmmuhhhhhhhhh....." I imagine her chewing bubble gum, and twidling her hair....
So I explain to her that it is a power bar with a timer built into it.
....... She asks if it is for a "freshwater or saltwater" aquarium
I'm at a loss for words.... So I simply explain to her again, that "it's just a power bar with a timer on it, for plugging things into"
Gracing me with her god given gift of genius, she says "I think we have one for reptile aquariums"
.... I'm a little taken aback at this point, because I can clearly see that she has nary a clue to what I am reffering.
So I ask her the price, curious as to what this mystery item she is looking at, might set me back.
"$39.99, But it's not the same as what you just told me" ...
I say thank you, hang up, and sit stunned for a moment, before making this post.
