Default Re: Save these fish.

The problems usually stem from management of these places. Corporate hires these managers and expects them to take care of their stores and to train the employees. When the employees fail at doing the job, I think management should be held responsible if the matter isn't straightened up. Either train them right and keep them trained or replace them. I have been in management and know how it works.

Just like my daughter works for Walmart. She works in infants but wants to work in the pet dept as she knows how to take care of fish. But they way they are set up, the fish are at one end of the store while the pet care products are at the other, so the fish dept gets ignored until someone wants help to buy a fish. I have already had 2 dept managers fired from there for that reason and am pushing to put the fish and petcare together to keep up with the fish. It has gotten so bad one of their suppliers for angel fish refuses to deliver anymore.

But the situation keeps happening and it always will as most of the general public and even societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals don't look at fish as pets. Rats, mice and such they do, but not fish.
