I expect them not to blow pink steam up my butt.  How
hard is it to say "I don't know?"  Since that *never*
happens at these places, I think folks should be aware
that they might as well turn over the Magic Eight Ball
as ask an "associate" what to do, when it may involve
spending hundreds or thousands of dollars.  At least
a randomly-chosen associate.

As another poster noted, you sometimes *do* find dedicated
people in this kind of store.  It just isn't the rule.
Don't make the mistake of thinking I have a grudge against
a particular chain--they're all pretty much the same as
near as I can see.  Though I can usually find someone
that knows something at Micro Center.
