Message: <blockquote data-quote="halfling rogue" data-source="post: 6389736" data-attributes="member: 6779182">I don't have a FLGS. I do have however, a couple of local game/comic shops that are not friendly at all. Rude and arrogant more like. The one closest to me in particular is full of the Arrogant. However they get my begrudgingly minor business as they are the only local place that can supply certain needs (some comics, or if I need some quick gaming supplies). In some ways it's pretty cool to have such a neat store not too far away. On the other hand I probably wouldn't miss them if they went out of business. I've tried repeatedly to like them and give them the benefit of the doubt, but (save one employee who is rarely there) the shop is full of employees who make the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons look pretty tame.[ATTACH]64172[/ATTACH] One of the reasons I've been lurking around here is because my Not-so-FLGS has let me down. I've tried discussing RPGs and comics and games, looking for opinions etc and more or less am just setting myself up for their Snide. So if i go in, like I said, it's for something quick and cheap, or to browse first hand some game or book I'll be purchasing from Amazon. I don't talk to anyone if I can help it. It's a shame really. I actually want to support them. I love to support local, independent stores, but this shop has basically pushed me away from any significant purchases. It's like a bad waiter at one of your favorite restaurants, deriding your choices to your face, bringing your food with rude sarcasm, making you wait half an hour for everything, etc, and then they expect you to give them a good tip and keep coming back. So for stuff like the PHB, I can spend $50 at a shop that continually disrespects their customers or I can spend almost half that online and wait an extra day or two. No question. Online all the way.</blockquote>
