Gotta say that I am not liking the hate being dished out to B&Ms... almost ALL of my shopping is now done at local stores (I'm rural, so local means within a 100 mile radius), and most stores around here are staffed by relatively competent people who are open to discussion. The most local is managed by a 50ish gentleman who is VERY knowledgeable and vapes every which way. I've watched him ask lots of questions of incoming vapers - almost an interrogation lol - to attempt to tailor their vapes for them. Yeah, they're overpriced, but, again, we're rural... ain't much not overpriced when compared to the big city.
Can't speak for AZ, of course, but regulations HAVE impacted a lot of things in AR... a lot of companies will no longer ship to AR because of regs, and those that will charge a bit more because of the AR fees they are required to pay.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, instead of getting hurt feelers, try to talk... to educate... it'll make you a better communicator, and make them a better B&M.
