Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

There seems to have been quite a bit written over the past several years regarding the myriad of reasons one can attribute to the demise of the brick and mortar audio shop. Rarely have I read however one of the most obvious reasons, which based on my experience, has got to be the simple fact that for the most part, they just didn't offer a high end listening experience. That, along with an elitist and careless attitude towards customer service, buried them as much as anything else. So here's my question. Who is the WORST audio shop/dealer you've ever encountered?

John Rutan, the Mayor of Verona, NJ. 
I purchased vandersteen 5 speakers from John. 
The 5 speaker was new at the time and before they were ready, we moved to Knoxville, Tn. 
John drove to Knoxville and set the speakers up!!!
no charge
john is the best retail stereo shop! Audio Connection . He is the last man standing in high end audio!

There's a Lyric shop in White Plains, NY too - same owners as the one in Manhattan.  The salesmen there are morons - I'm considerably more knowledgeable about the equipment they sell than they are.  
For a very good shop:  Take 5 Audio in New Haven, CT.

Paragon in Ann Arbor, Michigan absolutely sucks.  Very full of themselves.  You are to buy what they say becuase they know more than you and this is what they say works.  Never mind you enjoy the thrill of learning, listening, growing with your hobby, etc.  Owner Larry, a liar.  Salesperson Tom, pure arrogant, snob, schmuck.  Salesperson Ron... babbling bullwinkle.  Salesperson Matt, does what he is told with his tsil between his legs.  Losers.
