Animates Tower Junction - what is going on !?!

Does anybody buy fish from Animates now other than Tues-Thurs. Any other day and they just aren't competitive.

That has to be one of the most stupid piece of marketing I've seen, I really don't get what they're trying to achieve, other than inconveniencing a whole lot of people who can only visit their store on the weekends. I bought four clown loaches from Jansens Mt Eden one Saturday and I asked the guy if I really had to leave now and come back on Tuesday, and he said nah and gave me a good deal anyway.

I'd simply tell them if you have to leave and come back next week that you'll leave for good and go buy them from hollywood or origin.

:lol:

I wouldn't even bother going into an Animates store for fish, the Palmerston North store was the first ever Animates I had seen... and when we went in we couldn't believe our eyes.. the prices... and the state of the fish... every tank had either fin rot, white spot.. and floaters... :roll: Seems it's not just Palmerston North :roll:

There used to be a really good woman at Tower Junction, I met her at Moorhouse when she was relieving once. I haven't seen her in a while but if I saw her again I'd follow her advice. It's more the store that has a problem with not retaining the people who actually know anything.

i know of a fair few jansens staff who watch these forums and considering they are all the same thing now i guess that kinda counts.

I know while i was workign at jansens there was a few hikes in the price of fish and each time there were different reasons given but they always tried to validate it by sayign it followed trends in other stores. I would rather be a trend setter than a trend follower personally but hey.

I work at Jansens silverdale and ever since we started doing the merger the whole company has gone downhill. Im giving in my notice of resignation this week becuase I hate the place so much. I never buy anything from Jansens and I don't recommend anyone does. Its supoorts their disgusting practices. For instance:

-The main 920L tank was way overdosed with flourish excel and all the fish (100-200) died. The manager was more interested in eating her lunch then knowing about it.

-The african cichlids are kept in conditions often bordering on acidic and there are often deaths.

There are so many other things I get pissed off about but probably too many to list here.

Grr! I hate Jansens!! :evil:
