It's the same here, with people walking into camera stores to handle the hardware, then they go home and order it from B+H and Camera World of Oregon. And we wonder why there are so many amateurs who don't know squat about photography. It's likely because there are so few stores that can afford to keep real photographers (note: not pro. but real which includes knowledgeable amateurs) on their staffs. Service economy indeed. Maybe there should be a new chain of stores, teaching people how to make pictures and rent darkrooms to them?
