She was happy to tell me I was misinformed and it was written in their care sheet. I asked who wrote the care sheet and was she sure it was for Leo's and not Beardies or Uro's or tortoises or rabbits. Again, in her happy voice, she said the corporate vets wrote it so it must be right and I was, of course, wrong. I asked to see the manager. We went through the same conversation, almost word for word!! I was getting nowhere with him and he made the mistake of copping a condescending tone...not a good idea! I walked over to the book area and grabbed the Leo care book off the shelf and told him to read it. Oh, that was wrong too...old, outdated information in that book and their vet was up on the latest care and Leo's eat salad. Well it went downhill from there and ended up being a "yes they do" "no they don't" "yes they do" "no they don't" heated discussion, I called him an idiot and said the corporate vet was a moron. I was told I could leave the store on my own or wait for the po-po to show and escort me out. He also suggested I not come back.
I did go back a month or so later only to discover a new manager on duty and crickets in the Leo tanks.
Good job
