I don't shop local any more unless it's for a premium item and the customer service is beyond average. Not when Amazon can deliver consumer items the next day.

Keep in mind that there are people with experience and education everywhere who through a variety of factors end up in retail. Apple simply skims off the top. There are other retailers who do the same, the problem is that most people never
