Will professors ever refuse to write a letter for a student with an A?

Personally, i will write a letter for a student who has gotten an A in my course, but unless I know them well, I will suggest that they find another professor who can write a more personal letter. This will result in a more powerful letter. However, sometimes, there is not much other choice and I will do so. If I don’t think I can write a good letter, i will tell the student to try elsewhere and I will only write such a letter reluctantly.
