Its just best to ignore the idiots and just let them ramble on. Its
good cheap entertainment in a lot of cases. As for them and their
ability to net a fish. Thats a whole other ballgame. I have seen
employees get so frustrated that they start slinging a net all which
ways, finally net the fish and wind up missing the collection
container or bag, fish wind up on floor, etc etc. I woiuld give the
clerk a chance to catch what fish I wanted, and if it was un cuaught
in short order, I wuld tell em to forget it, as you do not want a
stressed out fish to contend with. Best to come back another day for
it and hop[e someone that knows how to net a fish is there instead of
the idiot that merely swipes a net around. I have seen clerks net
fish and reach into the net with their hands to grab the fish and
place in bag etc etc.Thats a no no, as is any time a fish hits the
floor or touches bare hands I tellem to forget it that your no longer
interested........and then go turn em in to the manager (not that they
will always do anything about it though)
