That's the great thing about these BB's, isn't it?

My advice is to approach an LFS with the intent of establishing a relationship of mutual respect, not an "us vs. them" approach.
Instead of going in half-cocked like you're a holier-than-thou reefer, and you have just caught them at something bad, educate yourself around the issues and logistics involved in running an LFS, and don't complain about their prices!
I've found that good LFS's are more than willing to discuss issues around the industry in a civil manner.
