How do you rate your LFS

But she had been told by the sales person "No problem, you have everything you need."
And I know the sales guy knew better but they jusy wanted to make the sale.

This is a big one for me as well. I can't stand LFS's where the employee's will sell you anything you desire and tell you only what you want to hear. I like when I go to my LFS (no names needed) and they turn me down on something I want. They always have a good reason for it, and for that I always thank them. It's only the right thing to do. Obviously now after 2 years I know more myself, but still the odd time there's things I think I can keep, in which I really can't, or shouldn't. So this would be #1 for me as a newbie, but now I would say price and selection is my #1.
