Can minors buy fish from Petsmart?

[Jer]

Me and two other friends went to Petsmart yesterday, all 14 years old, to buy some feeder fish, just to have, not to feed them to other fish. We were at the counter and the clerk and the person that put the fish in the bags didnt say anything about you have to be 18 years or older to buy feeder fish. But then the manager took them away from us saying you have to be 18 years of age or older to buy them.

So, do you really have to be 18,
or did that manager just not trust us?

no you dont haveto be i would tell him to fuck off

[i see you]

umm i've been buying fish for so many years under the age of 18 they rpobably didnt trust a huge group of teenagers walking and buying a bag of fish that could look bad but if you were there with yourself or with a parent and you bought them they would be just fine so just go back with a parent or older individual

Many stores have a policy where you must be a certain age (16 years in some places, 18 in others) to purchase live animals. The manager wasn't taking them away because he didn't trust you, it was a store policy that he was enforcing.
