How can you be banned from a LFS when you've been supporting them for years and all of a sudden ban you from walking in because you work at another LFS? Anyone ever heard of this? Because I sure did experience it! :mad:

Yeah, had it happened to me in college. I was banned from one furniture store when I decided to work for another. Asian owners are weird that way. I guess they feel betrayal and you somehow took along with you their customers and trade secret. If you need anything from that particular store, LMK I can get it for you(for a frag of your loki..lol..)

Man, I can see you are totally upset with what happened. Let it go bro. As much as you spend on livestock, it's their lost. What happened to you is very common in ours community. I know it's America, but you must realize the majority of our parents' friends are asians and their perspective is rooted in the old country way.

What the heck is wrong with you? Finals are over, go paint the town. I have a reason to be here(the number one reason for divorce is marriage). Why are you here? lol

Raymond, they didnt' ban you, they just told you to go home and saved your money for books & school instead of spending all your money on fish/corals :D You should thank them for that lol.

Just forget em, some people are real a-holes.

I've banned myself from going to a certain LFS after being treated sh!t there, can't believe some places would do that especially after the amount of money you spent there.

i do not find it all that unusual to not have former employees come back to the store especially during these tough and competitive times.

I come to buy stuff because its near my house. I dont care what they do. Sad to say that they were the one asking me questions. They should just put up a sign not to allow other lfs employees to come in and waste their time. After all they are known to bann multiple hobbyists for the most ridiculous reasons. If i owned a lfs then i would understand. I'm just a freaking employee/hobbyist!

This situation has been dealt with. There are other reasons, but we made that choice to not welcome you in the store. The decision is final. Don't take it too personal, it's just part of the business and how we 've dealt with it. You can't make everybody happy, but in this business, its competetive part. I already texted you why. I don't see why you taking it so personal. If we don't want your business, just shop where you work. You can bash the shop all you want here. Everybody is entitled to their own words. We wish you the best.

Well im just upset how your parents do business and think that its dumb. Like you said that your parents feel different and i see it at a different way. I shop at your store because it's like 3 minutes away. Now just to get a small thing where i can get at your store i have to drive to my store that is 20 min away. But it's whatever i guess. Just do what you do and make it good. Dont worry about others when you cant fix your own problems. Thats all i have to say. Good luck
