I'm 20 and have had my fair share of arguments in regards to care info given out at pet stores in my town, I find that if you present the information in a clear, concise manner and then back it up with facts people will understand easier.

One thing to remember is to never lose your temper, no matter how angry the ignoramus makes you, it often causes for you to lose credibility in the eyes of the person you are trying to convince.

If you have no luck with moronic employees, try calling up management with information on websites (such as GPC and GL) and then refer them to an exotic vet (that you have already asked permission from) if they have any further questions. People listen when they have a Dr. in the front of their name, and when it says Dr. John Smith (eg) Specialising in Exotic Animals (or some such thing) they will really have to listen.

Also, sometimes it's not how you present the information, but it's how you say it. If you come across as a snotty know it all, people wont take you seriously (especially if you are younger than them).
