I may say something else. Hopefully the girl I usually talk with who seems to be familiar, or at least interested in the research I've done. If I don't feel like I get a different response I'll ask for a manager. I used to be in retail and don't want to be "that" guy lol. But I won't waste time...
It actually aggravates me. When I was younger, around 11 years old, I bought a jackson's chameleon with money I saved from birthdays or something. Anyways, she was also gravid, told us this, and being young I just thought it would be cool to have little chameleons to play with. My parents didn't do research and took PetsMart's advice (which we all no is a no-no), and unfortunately died. She also had 14 babies which passed, we had it too hot and didnt know any better. I forget what urged me to get one 10 years later, but I did. Though this time I did a lot of research, thanks to these forums! I feel 100% I have the best environment, supplementation, auto misting and lights etc. I realized we were doing nearly everything wrong. Know Reptar seems to be in much better condition...
...Thats life.....
... but in all seriousness, this is my situation. I either spend the money and time to travel 20-30mins (more in traffic!) to go support a halfway-decent business, or just suck it up and buy from a local store, keeping jobs for the people who work there.. Eh. Plus, I asked an employee once if they would stop ordering pet supplies if no one bought them... they said if they don't sell it they send it back, they have enough room in the store to stock things that don't sell, and the fact they do sell one item here or there makes up for everything. It's hard to explain everything they said in a short summary.
