Hmmmm I don't what came first, the miserable tackle shop owner or maybe he started happy then years after dealing with miserable anglers day in day out. Theres one that's moved to a trading estate near me. Nice and airy, plenty of stock good bait and, gasp, parking. It always staggered me why a tackle giant like be bennetts refused to move from their city centre location. Think beruit and you wouldn't be far off. They didn't move and died.
That said, an awful lot of tackle shops are awful, and wouldnt last 10 mins if they sold in another sector. You go into other specialist shops and the difference is marked. Better service, more knowledgeable staff and more often than not there won't be a coffee-drinking, swearing bunch of men getting in way.
