I am fortunate to live in an area where I have 6 LQS within a 15 minute drive. I must agree with many that some are better than others on customer service. I don't usually need help, but a greeting is nice. I visit one at least once a month, but it varies which one. They each have a definite style, so it depends on what I'm looking for. Usually more follows me home than what I started out for.
I truly believe in keeping my neighbors in business and not the big box guys.
