Wow!! What an interesting thread. One thing that comes to my mind:

I wouldn't patronize a store with dead fish in the tanks. I doubt many of us would. But how would you really know?? My example is this: The employee just happens to scoop out all dead fish at 2:53 p.m. You just happen to walk in at 3:00 p.m. You didn't see any dead fish did you?

Seeing dead fish in a retail DT is a crap shoot. Either there weren't any or they were removed. About the only sure sign of a stores reliability would be to see a DECAYING dead fish. If they are too lazy to pull out the dead ones then you pretty much know they are too lazy to do anything else that should be done.

I imagine this would apply to any and all stores not just individual corporate locations or mom/pop locals.
