My observation is that this had been std in the hifi sales industry for as long
as I've been going to shops ... at least from the 70's onward. Except for the
owners almost exclusively very young salespersons man the operations and then
leave when they find 'a real job.' The thing is, there's so much to know about
this hobby and the equipment it is by luck that we run into a salesperson who is
also really into the hobby and knows their stuff. I don't expect it to be the
norm for this reason.
With mail order components usually considerable less than what the brick and
morter stores can sell for I guess that's the best that can be done ... except
for the high end boutiques. I find the boutiques often have the opposite
problem ... too much information! <g>
I suppose there's no short cut for knowing your stuff when you walk in.
