Fish or Mice?

I had a family come into the store today looking to get a fish tank for their daughter.
And like.
I went through the entire process with them.
Suggesting which tank to get.
Telling them about the variety of fish would be good.
Showing them a couple of extra things they would need.
Telling them the process of how to set up and add their fish in so that they wouldn't kill their fish.
To basically take it slow and steady.

And the family was totally on board with all of it.
Spent a good half hour to an hour in the store figuring it all out.

Only to put everything back.

Because their daughter saw our mice and decided that she really wanted one of those instead.

I don't know if they ended up buying anything for the mice at the store.
I don't think they did.
As I was discouraging them from getting our mice since we carry males and their urine tends to stink up apartments/homes from what customers have told me.
-And just experience in the store in general. They tend to have the smelliest cages.

So the parents were calling other pet stores to see if they had any female mice.
But the closest sister stores of mine were out.
So they were calling further up into the next valley over.

And yah....
I think they left to go get some mice elsewhere....

But I do wonder if they'll actually end up keeping the mouse.
Or returning to the store to get a fish tank instead anyways.

Still....

It's kinda impressive that the family--the parents especially--were willing to spend all that time gathering stuff to set up a fish tank....only to put it all back and head out in search of another pet store just because their daughter decided that she wanted a mouse instead.
