When I was looking for a new road bike, I went to one shop to specifically look at the Scott bikes. The sales "punk" was very condescending to me so I left without even testing riding. I got the impression he couldn’t believe/understand why an old guy (56) would want a drop-bar bike. They lost my sale because of him.

I ended up with a Felt Z85 from a different shop.
