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?

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.

I’d make an exception to that. I was a grad student in Madison for 3 years.
Mad-town is so dominated by UW and state government , most of whose workers are ex-Badgers who couldn’t bring themselves to leave, that it’s a great town for kids and a very bad place for adults .Even the "adults"are mostly kids !
 Though St. Paul is the capitol and the U of MN is bigger than UW, the
Twin Cities are big enough to be good for all ages and all kinds . BIG difference .
