First of all, this thread is NOT here to flame any LFS or LFS employees. I am not a LFS owner and have never worked in a LFS. This thread is made to make people stop and consider what they think about the local LFS.
When browsing the any aquarium forms it doesn't take long to find a thread or two complaining about how poor their LFS is and what horrible advice someone received from the LFS. So the question is:
How much responsibility should we place on the LFS to provide all the information required for this hobby? Why does the LFS get the blame for poor advice instead of the individual for not doing enough research on the animals they want to put in their tank?
Do we expect too much from these businesses? What other business would you go into to spend thousands of dollars and only rely on the employees to give you all the information you need to know about that item?
