No Means No Means No
Customer: “I just got a new fish tank, and I was wondering what kind of fish I could put in it.”
Me: “Sure, no problem.”
(I proceed to show her some good starter fish. I point out some tetras, when she says…)
Customer: “I thought that you needed a bubbler for those kinds of fish.”
Me: “Oh! You don’t have a filter or anything?”
Customer: “No. Just a tank.”
Me: “Okay, well the only type of fish that can live in a bowl-like environment are bettas.”
Customer: “But I don’t want these kinds of fish!”
Me: “Well, if you want to get anything else, you will have to purchase a filter and everything for your tank.”
Customer: *points to some guppies* “So I can’t get these?”
Me: “No.”
Customer: *points to some mollies* “What about these?”
Me: “No. With the tank set up you have, you can only get bettas.”
Customer: “What about the platties?”
Me: “No.”
Customer: “So I can’t get anything else?”
Me: “No.”
Customer: “So I can’t get the barbs?”
Me: *facepalm*
