As this has decended into a "are GW evil" line I will make a quick comment - I agree with who ever said that they are a company supporting local interests (in the Uk at least) and while I know they dont pay great for store staff they do at least keep some industry here rather than out sourcing to the developing world where labour is cheap and life is cheaper.
They also have the issue of being a brand - most people hate a sucessful brand that has little open competion. There is plenty out there in the Uk but none are as obviouse, well placed or inviting. My local comic shop which also sells RPGs and good boardgames is run by a guy who only grunts at you and plays WOW or sleeps when your in the shop - not helpful or inviitng. It is also a good walk out of the town centre. The other useful shop for non-GW things is also out of town (on the otherside) and run by muppets who you dont really want to talk to, and price mini's well in excess of GW. I do think the hobby is expensive but every time I look at other mini's I am not too impressed, either by price or quality. A few tempt me but none really shout.
Finally I did some work on customer service for my employers last year and one of the companies highlighted as good customer service - GW. From someone who knew nothing when trying to get a present for their son they managed to get the right thing from very basic descriptions.
