I'm sure customers who have bought bikes from a shop often get better service. Employees probably do this subconsciously even. I can understand that (but still don't enjoy it, obviously

).
And while I don't ask a lot of questions, my questions are definitely newb questions. The folks at the new shop have been very nice when needed.
