My LBS is crap for the most part. There are only 2 in my town and it's the same shop in 2 different locations. Now, I will say there is one full time employee in the one closest to me who I get along with well, he seems helpful and everything, but the fact is they overcharge ($40 for a $17 Miche BB and $28 to install, I didn't purchase) and they are pretty much a college town bike shop with cruisers and bmx bikes with some expensive roadies thrown in the mix. They recently got in an order of the orgin 8 del pasados with orgin 8 components and I'm curious to see what they'll be selling them for, but I can imagine it will be over $500.
