[QUOTE="Maraxle, post: 406783, member: 5538"] Space. I like having space to move in the aisles and such. One near me does not have this at all, so I rarely go there. The D&D section is crammed in the back corner behind a wall. I'm not a big guy, but I'd like to be able to back up more than a step before knocking over a wall of miniatures. Service. I don't want to be followed around the store, or completely ignored. Somewhere in between would be nice. Neither of my local ones have this figured out. The cramped one has a person who stands right next to you pretending to sort the comic books, while eyeing whatever you're picking up and looking at. Really annoying. The other one has this guy who just sits in the front of the store, paying attention to the CCG people. Even if you're the only one in there, he's still sitting there twiddling his thumbs. Discount section. One place has this. It's a table with all kinds of stuff on it. I got the Sovereign Stone Campaign Setting for like $13, and a Penumbra book for $6ish. They also have a ton of 1st and 2nd edition stuff, mostly used some new, that maxes out at around $9 for hardcovers (1st edition core books, etc). [/QUOTE]
