"Pool-Stored" - It's No Myth

[AGP18by33]

How bout this one...
I went into a pool store (and I would love nothing more than to say the name here), specifically to look for CYA liquid testing stuff. I made the mistake of telling the guy that I have to keep adding bleach because I don't have any stabilizer. He gives me the "scrunchie eyes/suck in the mouth" look and says...
"ohhhh, I don't think I would put bleach in the pool". THEN...the counter guy says...AS HE IS WAITING ON TWO PEOPLE..."Yeah...that will REALLY make your eyes sparkle!" They both turned around and looked at me strange as the counter guy was up there snickering at me. I also saw him shaking his head in that "your an idiot" way!!

So...I asked LOUDLY..."What is worse for your pool??? Chlorine at 12% or Chlorine at 6%??? Anyways, about the testing stuff?"
HE HAD NOTHING TO SAY AT ALL AT THAT!

Whose the idiot now?

P.S. Next time I will say "Liquid Chlorine"

Simmons, I can't believe that you were sold a pool and not given maintenance equiptment - EVERYPLACE I've worked, it was part of the deal!
However, that's a good story

Waste - I will get the stuff, but they didn't leave any on Friday and I know you are supposed to brush the new finish everyday - and since the electrical wasn't finished on Friday - there was no pump to circulate the water - so I needed the brush for that anyway. They are going to give me the crappy one they give everyone next week sometime.
