'Feign'?
Does anyone else find that it's not so much the stock of a record store that you go for, but the people behind the counter? For instance, Sound323 (Archway, London) has the most helpful and friendly people imaginable (without it getting on your tits) and I shop there more often than anywhere else. It helps that they have stock that you just can't find anywhere else in real record stores (as opposed to online).
By contrast, Rough Trade has absolutely superlative stock, but the cuntiest cunts behind the counter, so I rarely go in there.
