Meh. The guys at the AdMo one act like douchebags. Plus,I like having the ability of flipping through CDs, not looking at them in glass cases and then trying to flag down someone to unlock that particular portion so I can retrieve the disc.
I have said it before, but I really did not mind the people at DCCD, who wants to deal with the sales people anyway.
If you're a good sales person, you know when the customer needs assistance and offer it, not just sit there behind the counter and let out a deep sigh because they disrupted your weekly reading of the "Savage Love" column.
DCCD's selection was not that great, nor were their prices. There were many times (when I lived near the store) that I walked in expecting to find a certain indie or less-mainstream CD and walked back out with nothing. In those cases, I usually went to Olsson's the next day and found those discs.
I don't know if it was intentional, but in the last 6 or so months before they closed, there was a lot more mainstream pop/rock (Britney Spears? Matchbox 20? WTF?) in stock than indie releases. And that's the kind of stuff that turned a lot of would-be regular customers off.
