The owner of Bernies is rude, arrogant and full of himself. He knows little to nothing of photographic technology newer than 1989 and most of the other people there are just as bad. They will lie to you to get you to buy anything they can. Most of the store has the ""Screw them and toss them out the door"" attitude, especially good for this is the heavy set guy who ran the used camera store before it closed. He is so full of himself its amazing.
One person that is still there and stands out in a terrible mix of employees is Howard. I've dealt with him many times and he is a pleasant, down to earth guy that will tell you the truth and be straight with you about products and pricing. They have had other good employees over the years as well, an older gentleman named Rick who was one of the nicest guys you could meet and a younger blonde kid who was like an encyclopedia and incredibly personable.
My advice? If you have to go to Bernies walk in and ask for Howard. If he's not there, leave.
