sorry to hear about your bad experience with one of our sponsors but here @ A Chance of coral I dress like a bum and my prices are cheap just to show you guys im not about material things!!! Again sorry for your bad experience. but we are all human and we make mistakes and its hard not to judge sometimes . Im glad I don't have a issue with that and I do my best to treat every customer with respect because its the right thing to do and want my place of business to be a chill place where you can browse with out some one hanging over your shoulder asking you do need something what are you looking for every 5 seconds. shoot I usually have drinks and or beer in the fridge and im always willing to share
Where is your store?

I've joked about making a necklace out of this, but this time, I think I might wear this around my neck to gain FSM baller status around fish stores. Then people will know I mean business!

Man I had a very similar experience today, I called around asking stores for skimmers ands every local store kinda just blew me off. What did I do? I drove an hour and half in mid traffic to go to the SPS store because they were the only store kind enough to help me with my questions.

AOA's secret stash is always top notch.. By far my favorite lfs to visit.

Stopped by on Monday. Lots of very nice pieces to drool over right now! I need to get their holy water secret.

+1 on pricing items upfront when possible. I'm new to this hobby, just a few weeks in and most times I feel judged when I ask what something costs at the LFS. Yes, I'm guilty of asking multiple times... but this is how you decided to operate your sales floor, list prices or be ready and willing to spend some time answering questions.

Its a steep learning curve. Welcome to the hobby and SCR. You'll eventually get the hang of things. If your feeling like your not getting good service or ripped off just walk away man
