That's because the majority suck. There are some that are just disgusting, others are more of a locals hang out than a business and they make you feel very uncomfortable when you are in there, others I would never take my kids into. Went into one back in March and the guy the only guy working was so drunk he could hardly stand. It was 11 in the morning!!
I don't buy that local mumbo jumbo. Too many people coming from Springfield that don't care who is local. The problem is that there has never been a good store around there.
