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?

Don't forget the benefits of the black flies, harsh winters & pot holes

randy-11, I never forget that rough winter with over a meter of snow when I woke up, started my vehicle and went to business meeting without any shoveling and without getting stuck anywhere on my way in Minneapolis. A night prior when storm was just starting to land, I saw an army of snow removal vehicles surfing the interstate and city streets sweeping away anything in excess of half-inch continuously non-stop! I also saw in private sector owners of pickups with plow removing snow from neighbor's driveways!

after winter, for some reason the road is still smooth and flat with no New York or New Jersey type of pot holes that can destroy your bushings in a matter of few hits. What's wrong with black flies -- they're absolutely harmless! There are cities and states that spray them, but spray is far more dangerous than black flies.

It indeed worth to see Twins prior making blunt assumptions

I've seen them both, and a close friend lives there.

A lot nicer than Arkansas...

I love Northern Minn, just like Wis, but southern is like Kansas, flat.
And the twin cities, i admit are better than big city Wis-think Milwaukee, especially for things like audio. Madison, while much smaller, has the U, like the twins and much better audio stores, and little if any pr**ks, as some of you are describing. Amazingly for a city 1/10 the size the Madison Worst Buy Magnolia (yeah I know) is 10 times more packed with audio equipment.

The upper Midwest rocks.  Plus I'm a sucker for blonde haired blue eyed women.  Hope I don't have to issue an apology if not politically correct.
