Repco sells items cheaper than SCA a lot of the time and I get far better service from the staff at my local store than the nearest SCA, although there is a guy at the SCA who the staff consult who is very good.
It also helps that they employ some nice helpful young girls who act professional.
Overall though it feels more impersonal than at my local Repco.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
