    While I agree with a lot of your points of them turning on people to the hobby. A lot of the criticism is warranted. Just I alone have seen countless times those stores having people with little to no knowledge of the animals they are selling giving dead wrong advice to people buying a reptile. That and selling animals that are covered in mites, dehydrated, covered in stuck shed, you name it. On top of that selling a $25 normal bp for $200 is insanity. But like I said before from what I have seen as of late is the quality of animals and husbandry improve at my local big box store. So hopefully the stigma they have gotten as finally reached the higher ups and they are working towards change.
