Train Shop's

We hear the horror stories of going into train shops that have
owners/sales people that give you the impression that they don't
want your business. You go in, they ignore you or any questions
you ask or get in a huff if you interrupt their conversation
with a white haired regular. They don't want you to browse and
Heaven forbid you bring a child into their store. You don't look
like them or aren't dressed as they deem appropriate. We've all
probably experienced this in some form or degree.
So, how about we start a list of the "Good/Friendly/Helpful"
shops/owners that we would recommend to newbies or just someone
looking for a train shop.
I'll start the List...

The owner is a little interesting but it's the best train shop
in Bham.

The Hobby Train Shop in Roseville CA. Don't ask a question. You
will get the dear in the head light look. Never offer
assistance. Try to order an item, not in stock. Well can you see
when? Extremely frustrating.

This happened to me just today. Went to the whistle stop in
Pasadena CA and the guy followed me around d like I was going to
stick a bunch of track down my pants and walk out. I asked him a
few questions and he was short and sassy, I wanted to lay into
him, but didn't.
Went to the Train Shack in Burbank 4 times in the last week,
each time with my two young kids, never frowned, happy to help,
and even gave my girls a magazine and some train crackers.
