I'd say customer service has gone to hell all over our country (also on the phone and online) but I've met some of the nicest people ever in record stores - and Amoeba in LA probably gets singled out because it really is the happiest nicest bunch of people you'd ever want to get advice from. I think I'll never forgive High Fidelity as a movie or book or whatever, because as much as it nails the OCD knowledge the record store people have for music - I've never been in a store where disrespectful stuff is allowed to go on. Whether it's the record shop or the indie book shop: that is where I get excellent customer service nearly every time & elsewhere I get ignored ...and I can't hang out and get advice for 12 minutes chatting about stuff back & forth holding the product with a blogger. (Just did that with some books & a book clerk is why it's in my head...) I'm net junkie/blog hound - but if the day comes I can't chat with a clerk, I'll be lost.
