Another not-so-good experiences

I was working in London for about 6 months 10 years ago. One weekend, I happened to notice a Hi-End Audio store while walking down a street. I was very excited and walked in to take a look. Some one greeted me, and I told him I'm from the US working in UK, pretty excited to visit the store, just browsing to see if there's anything interesting. When he heard that, he probably guess that it is very unlikely I would buy anything. I asked if I could browse around the store, and he said "no, and I cannot let you walk around the store unattended, please leave". Wow, most of their stuff are entry level stuff, nothing fancy either. Nice attitude.

Then I visited another store, Walrus Audio, I believe, some time later. And the guy was awesome. I spent almost two hours in that store just chatting with the owner. The only thing I could buy was replacement belts for my Michell turntable, but we had a great time just chatting inbetween him answering phones and emails. That was awesome.
