extreme_tooth_decay I was present when you supposedly expressed your concerns for the tank. I overheard the conversation and I'd like to make a few things perfectly clear.
1) YOU did not identify yourself first, you instantly went in berating Erin.
2) Erin is not a store manager, but the department manager and was the manager on duty at the time.
3) Instead of nicely telling her what was going on, you immediately started acting like she needed to break down that tank because it was "a ticking time bomb".
4) She explained to you what they were doing with the tank. She never once raised her voice at you and was actually very open to what you had to say. You were the one freaking out over it, your voice got very high, and you were practically demanding she do something that very moment. I had even shown interest in it, did my own investigating of it and found that if I had been serious about buying it, I could have replaced the top.
5) You are correct in saying you were wrong about the supposed patch job. Those seals on the side are from Perfecto. I came from the store today to verify all your claims, and verified this myself.
6) Why didn't any of you approach the management before going into this forum talking out your *****? I am sure that any one of them would not have brushed you off as you claim. I know Erin personally, she takes her department very seriously. She has helped me with every fish and reptile I have purchased there and accusing her of not caring or endangering human or animal life couldn't be more further from the truth.
The fact of the matter is this. If any of you had cared as much as you claimed, you wouldn't have waited this long to make complaints. You would have given the store a chance before going on your little campaign. I was at the store at 7 AM (their doors are open that early) to buy crickets and minnows, saw Erin working on getting the emptied. We talked for a bit and she said that she was breaking it down because of Mr. Decay and that she had texted her store manager to tell him what had happened that night. She decided to empty it then because it was less traffic. I told her that I had heard what went down and what I saw on here. If you guys had just given any of them a chance, you would have got your results peacefully instead of making a bad name for all of you.
I am sure all of you will just ****** to know she is personally taking a sledge hammer to the tank tomorrow sometime. She jokingly mentioned something about Youtube.
Now why don't you guys go harass some store that doesn't care about their pets... like Wal-mart or Petco. You make PETA look tame.
I am sure there will be some backlash on this from Mr. Decay and the rest of his lackies. However, it will not be entertained any further by me. Enjoy commiserating over this like some buzzards on a carcass.
