My experience is exactly the same. No one there ever seems to
want to go out of their way for a customer. No one has ever
asked me that question there either. All the people who hang
there seem to be nice people when you talk to them -- elsewhere.

I agree 100%. It's ridiculous that Halifax does not have a decent
indie store. We have the radio station, we have the nightclub,
we just don't have a record store. Unless you count Sam's, which
as Mike says at least carries more indie stuff than Dischord.
