IMHO, once I've crossed that line seeking assistance, I think it's kinda crappy to leave the store, go home and fire up the computer.
I agree, if I want help with something then unless the prices are truly silly I'll buy from the LBS. Although there isn't a specific price for their expertise I agree it's crappy to take up their time and then buy it online.
