Was i being sensative.. or 2as this store owner rude.. yesturday i was in Nova Tropicals in northern va.. im there all the time.. spent thousands of dollars in that place. Help him alot when hes short staffed.
Usually the owner is always nice. I have no issues doing trades for corals. I bring in orange manderins and trumpets and what not and trade for them. He gets good deals too.. usually i get a 100$ coral for 2-300$ worth of zoanthids. And they sell fast too. I also spent hours of ny own time fragging his corals for him. But latetly i offered to frag a gold hammer colony that hes been bugging me to frag and he said he had no plugs.. yet i saw 3 bags of plugs right on the table. I felt like i was being lied too.. I noticed he does this sometimes latetly. I dunno how to explain it. Its his store he can do whatever but im starting to feel like hes a little sleezy and weird about things.
But yesturday man.. i walk in.. Say Hi Dave, he says nothing. I standing there checking out if anything is nee.. He walks by me 20 times says nothing. Not even hi.
So i decide to leave figured hes busy even though no one was in the store.
So i come back later. Bring a torch coral in and all i said was Hey Dave would you be interested in this torch coral. He didnt even look and starts laughing at me for some reason. Confused at whats funny. I said Yes or no. And he said No.
Before i walk out i told him i didnt appritiate the way he handled that, and i dont know what was funny about my question of being interested in the coral or not but i dont like being laughed at like that.
Maybe its just me.. but didnt that seem a little rude on his part ? Even my girlfriend who was there thought it was rude and mentioned it to his buddy working on the counter before we left.
