I've seen that short-sightedness before but luckily there are plenty of shops here in Pasadena, CA to choose from. There is one that remains nameless that I will not revisit despite the excellent gear they carry. When service suffers, time to go elsewhere... If you don't have many LBS choices then I guess you're screwed.
I don't own a shop, I just work at one. I am willing to bet that the OP is skewing some of the story to make himself look like less of a chump. He wanted free service and was probably pretty aggressive.

EDIT: But I like your implied idea of a LBS owner conspiracy to wreck online sales.
