I am new to Aquaria Central and I'm still finding my way around. I have been looking at as many posts as I can, just to get an idea of what this is all about and what knowledge everyone has ready on their fingertips. I must say I enjoy your site very much, there is a lot of good information and many nice people. I guess my only drawback is it seems like many times there will be thread after thread and post after poast about how much people dislike how lfs and petshops opperate, and the information they give.
I understand how frusterating it must be to people who have had negative encounters with employees, but I also feel that it is unfair to those that work in petshops and lfs that do know what they are talking about but seem to be drown out buy those who focuse on all the uneducated people.
The road goes both ways, educated customers meet the uneducated salespeople and customers who believe they know what they are talking about meet the salesperson who knows the customer isn't always right. It is frusterating on both sides to try to educate the unwilling and/or uncaring, but in the end you know that you did your best to help educate the uneducated and it is up to them if they choose to use it and grow.
I would like to make a proposition. Why not instead of focusing on all the negative experiances we have had, why not tell about the places we go and find good information. It doesn't have to be the entire store, it could be someone that works in the store that you know that they know their stuff. It can be short and sweet, or long and drawn out. Negativity is a turnoff, but being positive can work miracles.
Anyone up for the challenge?
