There is a certain cause and effect at work here. The local
people don't get the sales, so they can't afford to keep
knowledgable people. Because of this, the local people don't get
the sales. It is an unfortunate situation. What is most
unfortunate is that as long as the local people cannot afford to
hire quality staff, it won't change. What will happen is that
eventually, you won't have a local camera shop to fall back on.
You know that in the long haul, you are only hurting yourself.
