I want your opinions on ski shops

as a 17 year old with little money and a love for fine herbs, i would put price above service. i dont even care about a knowledgeable staff except for boots. i dont walk into a shop wanting someone there to tell me what skis i need. i do research online and i usually know what i am buying before i go in the shop. knowledgeable boot people are a must though

i got kind of off topic, but yes, i would rather have a low price than good service
 
Thats what I want to hear though. Reasons why people would or would not support a shop. I have a feeling a lot of people that say they want good service still buy online.
 
redbull... lots of redbull! hahah

its gotta be relaxed with chill/younge guys that know what they are talking about
 
well im working in a shop now and trying to turn it around a bit, the things that i hate about shops are the long wait times for simple things, so if someone just needs their din adjusted or the bindings adjusted to a different boot (its not a freeski shop or anything so most people have no clue) ill do them while they are waiting and this has been really well recieved by the customers, i also do mountings while people wait whenever its possible, i know one shop i bought skis from made me wait 4 days to do the mounting while the tech was sitting around picking his ass and i rele hated that

i think if you can get people in ur shop who really want to be there and take pride in their work then people will be willing to pay the extra and not buy it online, and y'know i love doing this, it sure feels good when someone tells you that youve made their christmas for their kid
 
attractive, knowledgable and friendly employees (most importantly attractive) will bring kids in more than anything else. that and a broad range of product brands to choose from. make sure there's some street clothes in there aswell.
