Ya, I did that a few weeks ago too!
I had just walked in and there was a family looking to buy a beardie , the sales guy was standing there with the tub and the "paperwork". They had a cart full of things "they were advised to get" by said sales guy. I walked up when the guy was telling them about pellets and, mealworms for food. Well you know me.... I could not stand there and let him feed them a line of c r a p like that. I started telling the folks buying the dragon what was actually required and, the mom's jaw hit the floor. I also told them right in front of the sales guy that ""THESE CREATURES ARE NOT BEGGINER REPTILES"" and he needed to do his homework on dragons before trying to sell them. I wrote down this site and reptile mags name for the lady and her husband, they thanked me for letting them know then, put all the stuff back and, left.[/quote]
Yep!! I was waiting for some crickets (this cold snap caused mine to be delayed so I just need about a day or twos worth) and I see this family checking out the dragons. Well I'm checking them out too while I wait and I hear her telling them all kinds of bad information. I only caught the tail end of the lights so I wasn't sure about that but she told this family that a baby beardie gets pellets daily, freeze dried veggies three times per week, and about 5 crickets once per week. My jaw hit the floor!!! The family walked away to talk about it and the dad was apparently trying to get the children to get a hamster instead. I asked for my crickets and they were sold out.. again. At this point I'm not only fuming mad about the god awful load of bull, but my tipping point was calling the store and then telling me they got crickets in that day and I get there and nothing. I figured screw it. I walked up to the family and basically said "hey k heard you were looking at the bearded dragons. Great pets but let me tell you every thing wrong about what that lady just told you" the moms face was getting redder and redder and the dad was just getting outright mad that had been blank face told all this nonsense by someone looking to make a sale. To top it off I explained itto them by saying "that sales lady pretty much just told you how to starve a dragon to death excruciatingly slowly" I explained every detail of Maggie's setup and her feeding schedule. Well the lady walks up behind me and is like is there a problem here??? Needless to say she got an earful from the mom and I backed myself up saying no you're information isn't correct! You're going to kill these animals and you're giving information that will cause suffering and death plain and simple. She said she would get a manager and I told her not to bother that I was done. I left. Pretty good chance if I go back in that I am going to be told to leave lol oh well WORTH IT!!!!
