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?

Check out the "It's 2013, People" letter in the Feedback to the editor section, (pg. 11) of the newest edition, (Feb.2013) of Stereophile. That's what I'm talkin about.

Had the same experience as Guppy with In Living Stereo. Too bad for them as I was considering a new Cortese. That distasteful conversation pushed me farther away from dealers and closer to the used market and I will never consider doing business with ILS again. Receiving the 3rd degree about my personal matters from a stranger is inappropriate and offensive.

i think it is preferable for people to form their own attitudes based upon their experience rather than complaining, or being influenced by the experience of others.

Mr T. to each their own. I'd rather know if the probability is favorable that I'm going to get screwed before I deal with someone.
