And I see you caught that manager's name? Let. Them. Have It!<BR/><BR/>BTW, the fish we have had the longest is the one we won at the fair tossing ping pong balls.

We had a similar experience with the "fish personnel" at Petco. Needless to say, now we are PetSmart people, too. angAngie McDowell Garzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13994215780595462786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-5736851877663295512008-05-14T18:58:00.000-04:002008-05-14T18:58:00.000-04:00Yes. That is just inexcusable. And how rude of the manager to tell you that he cut his finger...he should have been diving for fish for you instead of talking. <BR/><BR/>I'd go back and get their names and include them in my letter.Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-3772881840555712912008-05-14T14:14:00.000-04:002008-05-14T14:14:00.000-04:00I hate fish. But, yes, I would have been very irritated about them all dying and the rude manager.

I swear that 95% of the time we had the same type of service you described here. I finally came to the conclusion that it's their company policy to have only have one employee on the floor at the time and that that person must be both rude and stupid. So frustrating!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13170131429639166827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-77699754746443107462008-05-13T22:09:00.000-04:002008-05-13T22:09:00.000-04:00I would be so pissed! We have four fish from Petco and so far so good. It's been about a month so let's keep our fingers crossed. As for your experience, I agree with everyone, mail the letter, send a link to your blog. What a jerk to put the beat up fish in your bag!

And maybe to Good Housekeeping (they have that little consumer advocate column near the front). <BR/><BR/>I can't believe so many fish died that soon. That's terrible. <BR/><BR/>I hope you'll let us know when you get your refund.Jennifer Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16239563357592230711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-51637582261567615902008-05-13T13:06:00.000-04:002008-05-13T13:06:00.000-04:00Patrick Star!!!!

Petsmart is a better run store in my mind. <BR/><BR/>Definitly send it to as many people as you can find online. We did that with Wal-Mart and got results. And if you don't hear form them within 10 days, send it again. Be persistant and firm. Good luck dear!The Fritz Factshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05162992338469733361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-60660319265172024612008-05-13T09:01:00.000-04:002008-05-13T09:01:00.000-04:00I agree with Valerie...I would totally contact the main office. <BR/><BR/>Don't you hate it when a company attempts to give you store credit for something like this? I once was delivered a pizza with an extra topping-a wasp, stinger and all. The pizza place told us that it was just a normal problem, what with the drive through window being open all the time...no refund but 5 free pizza coupons...that were never used.<BR/><BR/>good luck!For the Love...http://www.blogger.com/profile/10743028476342748266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-88614970733691020292008-05-13T08:06:00.000-04:002008-05-13T08:06:00.000-04:00Please tell me you are really going to mail this letter. I would also mail a copy to the CEO of said company. Amazing what results you can get when you complain to the head people.Valeriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04814430990899836829noreply@blogger.com
