I have a hobby shop a couple miles from the house, but they really do not cater to crawlers. A few random parts here and there but mostly basher stuff or drones. I usually deal with the same guy there and he is pretty helpful.
Its pretty annoying to walk into a store and get the vibe that the people working there not only have no idea what they are doing, but they do not even care. They are just there for the paycheck. I have gone into so many shops and asked for a basic simple thing that any shop should have (such as a sensor wire) only to be told "No we don't have those", while the lazy moron was standing right in front of them.
That's how I feel exactly. I spend alot of money at the lhs and expect at least good service there, guess not so much lately.
