Love letter

Dear Wal-Mart Pet Department Manager:


My seven year old son and I were in your Wal-Mart Pet Department over the weekend looking at the fish and in three different tanks... count them 1...2...3, there were dead fish. I mean bobbing on the top of the tank. Dead. My son thought it looked fun that the fish's were "floating along on their side". I stood there looking at them for a few minutes to be sure they were in fact dead and yes, they were. Thank you that I had to explain to my young son that those fish were actually dead and not playing. Thank you that when I brought it to the worker's attention she stared at me as if I was speaking a foreign language. I explained in several ways that there were dead fish in the tanks and that I thought they should be cleaned out. She didn't seem concerned at all. In fact, she said "That happens all the time." I asked her if she was going to clean them out of there and she said she had other duties to do first. Mind you, when I found her she was leaning over a counter looking at her cell phone (no doubt texting someone).


I am sorry to interrupt her "other duties" to ask her to dispose of dead fish. Seems to me that if I were planning to purchase some fish from your department I would question the health of the fish when there are dead fish in 3 different tanks. But who am I?


Sincerely,


Thankful shopper
