At this store they keep the best records behind the counter and will 
show you particular items if you ask for them. This is fine for 
filling in holes in a collection, but can be frustrating for someone 
like me who has broad taste and knows what he wants when he sees it.

I gave up going to Jack's Record Cellar years ago after I got a 
ration of attitude from the guy behind the counter. I don't feel that 
I should have to prove I'm qualified to buy their merchandise - my 
money is just as green as the next guy's.
