Mixed feelings. Scott was friendly and helpful on the phone. Unfortunately, when I arrived, someone else helped me. I was in town from California, and I had 1 gig. Normally, I wouldn't do this, but the venue suggested I ask the store to loan me a tablet mount for 1 day. The clerk's response was comical! "Um, we don't loan tablet mooounts...you can return it."
