It's one thing to make all petstore employees seem dumb and cruel...but it's another alltogether to point out the sad fact that a majority of people hired by those stores really don't know the first thing about the animals. I was even starting to think that they prefer hiring the clueless people just to avoid problems and shake-downs from those who know the policies and procedures are incredibly outdated and wrong.

Serpents-prey: Please don't take all the digs at petstores personally. It is just a sad fact that there aren't enough of us truly knowledgeable people working for those stores...not to mention the fact that it can be hard to tell at times who is just doing what they are told and who really doesn't know any better.
