shopping the store and buying elsewhere is the height of rude, I typically buy my stuff online for pricing and I do my own work but if they help me with something they get the sale. Had a roof rack damaged in a vehicle issue and had the LBS write up an estimate for the other guy's insurance and went back to them to buy the rack once insurance paid up; the price of pedals I wanted were reasonable so bought them as a bonus. Same for shoes, they have them or will bring in the supposed right size for me, they get the sale. I will shop around bikes for best fit and value but I consider that different since bikes have to be tested and still not be what's desired but I also wont ask a shop to order me something to try.
