Tank Size?

So the store was kinda crazy today.
Understandable.
Day before Christmas.
Lots of people coming into the store to get their kids pets or set ups for pets for the holiday and such.

And I had an older couple in the store.
Looking at potential tanks to give to....someone.

I never quite got who they were getting it for. 
But the original intention went from buying fish to buying a tank for someone else. 

So the woman wanted to look at tank setups and such. 
So I guided her to the aisle of tanks.
Gesturing to the closest one.
Which was a 55 gallon size.

Just to kinda explain what could come in the tanks and such.
And I guess the woman hadn't realized that the tanks...were actually on the shelf.
She just thought that they were...pictures? I guess?

I mean all the tanks are in boxes.
So you only see a picture of the tank on the outside of the box.
But the tanks are right there. 
In the box.

But the customer was like "I need to see the size of this tank! How big is it?"

….."It's the size of the box."

"But how big is it?! What does it look like!"

…..*exhales*
It took a bit. To clarify that the tanks are in the boxes and that the tanks are the SIZE of the boxes.
Like you look at the box that's basically the size of the tank.
-They're slightly smaller than box...you know to have some protectively packaging and such. 

Still managed to get it through to the customer in the end.
And the couple ended up buying a 20 gallon tank to take home. 

So hopefully that works out well for them. :D
