Oh good I get to vent
Last summer an employee was retiring and wanted a Yamaha receiver as a good bye gift. I went to Fairview HiFi in Burlington and was treated as if I was royalty. The salesman took the time to explain everything and go over various options. What I thought would take about 30 minutes turned out to take about 90. It was really well worth my time to go there. I bought the receiver from them at a very good price.
Now we'll go to the 'other store' I won't give you the name unless you are buying something in the Hamilton/Burlington area and then I'll be glad to share it with you. It's been in town for a very long time and every year gets voted the number one Home Theatre store by readers of a local paper.
I've walked around there for over twenty minutes and nobody would come up to talk to me. The staff huddle around the front counter and go specialise in avoiding eye contact.
Unles you grab them by the lapels (yes they are all suit wearing salesmeisters) and scream I WANT TO BUY SOMETHING that can't be bothered to answer any questions with more than one word. if you are lucky it's more than one syllable.
They are now carrying Bose, ......perhaps that explains everything.
