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?

  And Wisconsin, mirrors Minnesota in "nice" (but is superior to]!
In the old days the dealers were just great here...just great.

However, sadly, audio dealers have damn near disappeared here, and those left are very brand diversity lacking making testing comparisons very very difficult. Sometimes BB Magnolia is your only choice for a brand. And since I hate going to Chicago, that's not an option. Mail order dominates, including audiogon, obviously

I love Northern Minn, just like Wis, but southern is like Kansas, flat.
And the twin cities, i admit are better than big city Wis-think Milwaukee, especially for things like audio. Madison, while much smaller, has the U, like the twins and much better audio stores, and little if any pr**ks, as some of you are describing. Amazingly for a city 1/10 the size the Madison Worst Buy Magnolia (yeah I know) is 10 times more packed with audio equipment.
