Dithering Expectations

It may have begun before I took my lunch break at work today.
But coming off of work, after trying unsuccessfully to doze for a bit.
I ended up with an ache behind my right eye. 

And I think it's in part due to the fact that I had a customer in the store....
Who was difficult to deal with...
Asking a ton of questions I didn't know the answers to.
She'd come in originally to test her tank water to see if it was okay.

And her reason for doing so was that she'd bought a salt water tank, but was changing it over to freshwater. And she wanted to make sure the tank was safe to put freshwater fish into it. 

So I did our water test....and the results came out looking pretty normal except the Nitrates were slightly high. Which the solution to that is a partial water change and add in some live plants. 

But the woman was asking all these questions like if there was still salt in the tank and I...had no idea because our tests don't test for that?

I mean nothing appeared out of wack....

And she kept asking question after question after question about live plants, about the nitrates, about the ammonia cycle before I reassured her that the fish would be fine in the tank if she wanted to test it out. 

And so she spent a good fifteen to twenty minutes dithering over fish and which ones she wanted to get. ....before her kids convinced her that she should wait and go finish their other shopping and grabbing lunch before buying the fish.

Only....while they were gone, I ended up selling one of the fish she was thinking of getting. (because we don't hold animals, and seriously what were the odds someone would want the same fish?) 

So when she finally came back she was beyond disappointed that the one fish was gone. So her kids tried to convince her to wait until Friday when we'd get more fish in, but they ended up spending like another thirty minutes or so staring at the fish, dithering, debating, figuring out if they wanted to stick with the original plan minus the one fish, or switch to different fish all the while continuing to ask me questions....
*exhales*
It was rather stressful, as there was this energy of expectation from the woman that I wasn't quite meeting and gah....

It's no surprise I ended up with a headache from her. >.<
