Fishy feet

Now you probably won't believe this little gem but I can assure you that it's absolutely true. In the shopping centre here there is one unit that has a cash desk just inside the door and there is someone there who books appointments in a book too.
The main part of the floor is occupied by a rather large bath, about eighteen inches or so high and about four feet square. There is also a row of chairs along one side and some of these are occupied by customers who have their feet in the large bath. So what is going on I hear you say.
Well, the answer, believe it or not , is that the people who have their feet in the large bath are having the hard skin on their feet nibbled off by little fish!
Not only do I find the fact that people are sticking their feet into this bath thingy with total strangers, but why on earth anyone would want to pay money so that they can feed someone else's fish by letting them nibble their feet is beyond me. It isn't cheap either.
I just wonder what would happen if someone swapped the little fish for pirhanas!
