Nintii Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well it seems that Wal-Mart has bought the majority shares in two huge companies that do the same type of thing where I live ... problem is, here we have unions ... here, they are going to see their rear end without a mirror.

Deleted1848331User Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ever tried to buy fish at a Wal-Mart? It's worse than trying to find an available cashier because not 10% of the people working know how to catch them (Or maybe they do and pretend they don't). I'd offer to catch the fish myself and they could just supervise, but apparently it's against the rules. So I get to watch as an employee mashes my fish against the sides of the tank clumsily trying to catch it. No offense to the employees, they're not trained for it usually and I'd feel patronizing were I to offer advice on catching it. And Wal-Mart fish usually don't last long anyways so it is a bit of a waste of time... When I go to Wal-Mart half the tank is dead :armscrossed: I usually buy mine at PetsMart. I've gotten probably 40 fish from there :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've been wondering for a while if they'd give me some of the skeletons my local Wal-Mart keeps in their tanks. Always thought a plecostomus skeleton would be a cool wall hanging. And the one I've had for 7 years so far won't die so I can taxidermize it. Petsmart would be great, but the nearest one is some 70 miles away. There is a local fish store, but their prices are very high. 5 bucks a platy.

Syco21 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 There's a good chance they might if you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Though I'm sure I'd get a weird look for it. They had a perfectly preserved gourami skeleton stuck to their filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a perfectly preserved gourami skeleton stuck to their filter.It's possible, it's a weird request. But surely getting a weird look from a Wal-Mart employee is the least of your concerns. :P Well, that is unless they are really freaking cute, in which case I totally understand.:biggrin: remember to ask a manager ROTFLOnly go to a manager as a last resort. If you go to them first, they may be likely to just brush you off as a way to get rid of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
