Yup!
I have been to some bike shops that try to sell you some stuff, then get you out very fast. My LBS is really awesome, fun to be around, very helpful, and actually pretty good on prices. I love stopping buy to pick up some stuff I need! For me, having the part I need right then and there and also knowing im supporting a cool local business is worth the extra money. +1 to everyone who supports a cool LBS. Sorry for those that have crappy ones...
