$1 per gallon tanks @ PETCO

The petco closest to me is not good. Alot of the fish are sickly and they had a ton of flat worms in the coral tanks. They can't even keep leather corals alive they all just look melted. But the tanks are a great deal and I did pick up 2 40b.
 
Could someone else check their receipt. I bought a 40b in California and was charged $51.10 in total. This wasn't $40 + tax (9.25%) as I had expected, but rather 119.95 +tax -$69.95. It isn't a lot of money, but they aren't following their advertising of $1 per gallon as the cost of the tank. Seems somewhat shady...any accountant types know if this is legal.

they charge you sales tax before the sale so since it was 119.99 before they charge you the tax on that and not the sale price. they do it on all of the items that are on sale. sux but thats just the way it is

oh i see, so this is a deceiving sales. But honestly for $51-52 a 40G breeder is still a steal, you can't even get that wholesale.
 
Petco sucks i try to buy a 15 gallon long to start a small frag tank and the guy tells me that it isnt on sale cause its a odd size can you believe this then the moron manager is telling his fish guy he is going to stock a jawfish goby first of all they should be allowed to sell saltwater fish ive never seen 1 fish that isn t sick there i bought a maroon clown from a tank of 20 clown that weree all sick with ick just to save his life[/QUOTE ur calling the manager a moron cuz he wouldnt sell u a 15 gallon tank for 15 if u walk into store on tat big o ad the 15 gallon tank isnt on the list and why r u buyin sick fish to try to save its life?? do u eat meat?? :p
 
Why don't the Petco normally carry 40br???????? I can't find a Petco within 150 miles that have one. They said that they don't normally carry them, and won't order one just for the sale. Why????
