I am curious to hear from my fellow modelers about their expieriences in their local hobby shops. My wife had a really bad expierience and I am wondering if its common place for hobby shops to employ rude people. My birthday was today and my wife decided to get me some train stuff for my presents [:D]. Now, while my wife loves my trains and enjoys helping me she doesn't know the diffence between HO scale and the other scales. She knows I model HO but not every package has the scale labled. So to make sure she got me the right thing she took a ready - to - run box car up to the counter and asked if it was HO. the guy looked at her like she was stupid and replied "well duh, of course it is." Now i chose to get into model railroading because I can share it with my entire family I don't expect then to be treated like idiots becuase they don't know everything. I have already complained to the hobby store but I got kinda curious so thought I would ask my fellow modelers if they have had any expieriences like this. Also, do you prefer mail order as to going to a hobby shop?? Thank you.
