My outlook on these sorts of things? Most people working retail are lazy morons who could care less if you shop there or not. I think the theory goes something like this:
"If I am polite, helpful, knowledgeable about our products and work hard, I get paid $7.50 per hour. If I am surly, ignore people, even when they ask me direct questions, shrug my shoulders and say 'I dunno' when asked about a product, and am the laziest fuck in retail history, I get paid $7.50 per hour. Do the math."
It is amazing how little pride anyone takes in what they do (all of us on The Cellar excluded, of course).
