Hi!
Thats precisely the point though. They got what money they thought they can get from you so now they don't care. I never visit GW shops, the last one I went to was in Philadelphia a long time ago. I have heard all the same stories though, unless you can talk the "40k talk" a dog turd will generate more interest than you.
Call me dog terd then......
