How can I make sure LFS doesnt kill the shrimp when I buy them

[robotdeathsquad]

What I mean is, shrimp in general look pretty fragile. I'm afraid that if I purchase them from the store, how do I know they are doing it correctly (taking them out of the tank)? If they are doing it in a wrong way, what do I tell them to do instead?

If you have a good LFS they should know how to do it.

really not too hard. just get them to jump then net them out turn the net inside out into the container. as long as they dont pin them against the glass it should be ok.

What about those fragile looking legs. Wont those get crushed?

they are not more difficult to net than fish really, they are sturdier than they appear. As long as they don't squish them completely they should be ok.
