why wouldn't anyone rather support a good mom & pop store?

I think most people are perfectly happy with the
idea of supporting a
good mom and pop store, but when it comes down to it and they can't compete pricewise...that's why Guitar Center, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc are everywhere and smaller music, grocery and electronics/record stores are vanishing.
And as has already been mentioned...not all mom and pop stores are
good.

Yeah, there's this nostalgicing of those rinky-dink dives that flies in the face of all reality-- too many embittered failed musicians, grinding axes instead of playing them....

I think you're as likely to find those "EFM"s at a Guitar Center as you are at a mom and pop shop.
