We have a LQS very close to my home. The few times I have been in there, have been very much like your experience. Even when they do speak to me, they are sarcastic! I have a friend who works in a LQS 25 miles away & even the salespersons there talk about how nasty the people are in the near shop! I was very surprised to hear that because I thought it was just me? They have a very bad reputation! It's a shame because I know I would shop there more if they were friendly. My husband was with me once & he agreed.
