Three stars for selection and price but disappointed after I had confirmation from two different employees at two locations in Altoona that they could scan a lost cat or dog but neither location had anyone apparently 'trained' on how to use the equipment and felt like I was getting a bit of a run around.

Went to aquatics to buy some fish I needed and the man working in aquatics would ignore me standing there, turned off the lights to the fish I was looking at, was constantly on his phone making calls and texts, and overall was rude. Went to buy around 8 fish and the customer service was terrible. I’ve had no problem there any other time I went but this time was horrible
