Lets take a look at this and what has happened around the lake. Wal-Marts are popping up near every community it seems, What does that do to the mom and pop stores that have given such great service all these years. Hmmm, and their customer service people. Seems to me that the small country stores know what there product is, where it is, and if something is wrong how to fix or replace it. Lets see you go to Walmart and most of the employees know nothing about what they are selling let alone how to correct a problem. Some employees don't even know where to look for a TV they have on sale. I would spend a little extra for the service and the knowledge that if I had a problem with a product that they would try to fix it prior to replacing it.
