There is a reason camera stores like this don't exist anymore.\r

I'm all for supporting 'mom and pop' shops, local businesses, guys who have 'been in the biz for decades', but THERE IS A LINE. I am writing this review on behalf of myself and several fellow classmates. Warning: If you are a student or of ripe young age, be ready to be disrespected and treated like a child here.\r

Upon entering the store, the clerk is helping an elderly couple buy an overpriced camera, and he stops mid sentence to abruptly ask me ""Uh can I help you?"" I told him I needed a very specific item for a very specific purpose. When the couple left, he attempted to lecture me on why I was wrong in my research and how I was outdated. I assured him I knew what I wanted, and he rudely remarked about how he's been in the business for 30 years and surely knows more than me. Sarcastic comment after sarcastic comment after sarcastic comment, I made a purchase.\r
\r
I like to leave transactions and relationships on a good note, so I thanked him sincerely for helping ""educate me"" (whilst holding my tongue), and in return he makes a rude comment and makes me wish I could have returned it right then and there.\r

The people working here have a snide and higher-than-thou attitude and complain about their lack of success in recent years.
