I went into Beitals once, and asked their prices on Tunze pumps. They looked at me like I was crazy. I then told them about the pumps and they insinuated that I didn't know what I was talking about and to consider a Rio pump. I almost slapped the guy (I think he was actually the owner).
Thanks for the segway Shaun :flower:
Unfortunately I don't have any experiences to add to the NWA conversation, however, the single WORST store I've ever been in was Beitals. I went in one day to get a Foxface Rabbitfish. The owner (another one with the personality of a slug) told me they don't have any Rabbitfish (which was what I asked for). I brought him over to the tank with the Foxface Rabbitfish and I asked, 'what's that?'. He replied, 'that's a Foxface'. I chuckled and explained that Foxface was the type of Rabbitfish. He began to argue with me.
Another visit there (I should have known better) I asked the owner if he would be able to do any better for LR than
$13/lb :bigeyes2: (yes, you read that correct, no typo, $13/lb) which was the price it was marked. Now I was organizing a GB for close to 1/2 ton of LR. You'd think somebody who's in the business would budge a bit (seeing that he had to be making
close to $10/lb). I told him we'd take them right in the boxes as delivered, he didn't even have to handle it. No dice. AND, he was obnoxious about it. Total attitude.
Last time I set foot in there. BTW, the Foxface died about 3 days later.
