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?

Why would anyone buy from AA, they charge LIST price for most items except those items they cannot even give away. There are great dealers that will give 15-25% off list!

rsf, I don't think anyone should be required to give a discount off list, if they do, it is a nice gesture.
My bugaboo is rude behavior coupled with racial/religious superiority.
That they are still in business shows that there are enough people who will patronize them despite/because of their behavior.

The worst dealer I've had worked out of a white Chevy Astro van. He sold me some NIB speakers for cheap.  I gave up the cash, took them home, and discovered the boxes were filled with old newspapers.  I got even though by posting a negative YELP review, who's laughing now sucker!!!??
