^ You can find all manner of customer service in all manner of stores.

Incidentally - you technically shop at a chain..

i dont agree with that at all..... in a chain store you have about 10-15 customers for every sales man. in a small shop you have 1 on 1 sales man 99% of the time.... and when they ask you if you want help and you say no thanks they back off 'cause being a small shop they dont want to do anything to **** you off or make you leave because every customer counts for them.

i like shopping big chain stores, if they ask me for help and i say no thanks they leave me be... excpet International Stereo

and if i need help ill wait and ask for help.

They're opening one in Ottawa very shorty and I've been wondering if it will be worth the drive to the other end of town to check it out. If it's all the same MTX/Rockford/Kenwood stuff FS normally carries then I won't boether [img]smile.gif[/img]

There's not much difference, they do carry some JBL/Lightning Audio amps/subs, but that's about it. Pioneer/Rockford subs, amps, and the usual decks from FS were there too.

Too bad the JBL 300.1 was 350, and they didn't have the 600.1. No Lightning Strike amps either. Wasn't really that impressed but hopefully, it'll get better.

Buying car audio from FS has always been easy enough but when I went in to buy my bigscreen tv it was a different story. I knew the one I wanted but when I went in the little showroom the two salesmen were playing with the controls on a tv, they looked at me, and then went back to the tv. I waited a couple minutes till they were done to get some help but nothing. So I went out of the showroom, and saw a salesman being really helpful to an older lady and when he was done he asked if I needed help. I walked into the showroom with the guy and pointed at the $4000 bigscreen I wanted to buy. You shoulda seen the faces on the two useless salesmen in there. I guess it's because I'm young but I never seem to get approached in there.
