You should see my girlfriend roll her eyes every time I want to stop by the fish store. She doesn't understand why I like to go to the fish store to look if I'm not gonna buy anything.
Sometimes it can be therapeutic to go to the store. You get to see all sorts of cool fish without having to shell out the cash for fish tanks.

...Or it can be extremely annoying to see the fish in crampt environments and kept under improper conditions.

Sometimes I drag my fiancee or brothers with me just for educational purposes. They always look quite bored until I point out something like the pacu or clown loach or pleco or whatever, and spread my hands to indicate adult length. Then the eyes go wide and all of sudden they start asking questions about certain fish. I have shocked a few customers that way too.:)

Well, I tend to avoid places that don't responsibly house their fish. That just leads to "rescue" buys, which can cause plenty of problems of their own. I mainly only visit a few LFS' that are knowledgeable and responsible fish keepers in their own right.
One store I like to visit maintains 3, 300 gallon tanks simply for tank-busters that people bring in. And they are very good about not selling tank-busters in the first place.
