My 'ideal' game store?

Stocks what I want, or can order it in a timely fashion.
I have no need of the gaming tables (I don't go to game stores to game, but to get product. Most clubs here AREN'T based in stores.)

Staff who know something about the hobby. I don't care if it's just boardgames, or cards (*spits*) or miniatures. Some knowledge is better than none. Some friendliness or willingness to engage with a customer also helps. If I want surliness from staff, I can go to a music store.

Music that ISN'T cookie-monster-does-metal would be a nice change.
