Re: Who's the snobbiest high end dealer?

I don't know, but I've been to a few over the years. Probably the most notable one I recall was Paul Heath in Chicago back in the 70s when they were one of the places to go for high end. I didn't live in the area but went there one Saturday afternoon in the summertime to check out what they had. There were several customers in the store, some of us waiting to be helped, when a salesman dressed in a WHITE SUIT briefly walked through, loudly proclaiming, "Anybody here who is waiting to A/B preamps today might as well forget it." Well, excuuuuse me! He made a lasting impression :-)

Someone recently sent me a link to this video clip, which is a hilarious spoof of rude treatment of a customer at an audio shop, portrayed by Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson). It gives all of us a way to laugh at ourselves.
