People that understand their rights, normally walk past the door checkers.
I'm always polite when they ask to see my reciept, and reply with "no thank you."
I'm usually smug.
Sorry if I offended the fry's employee on this list.. Yes, its over-gerneralized. It just seems that every time I'm in there I hear sales people giving horribly wrong information to customers.
I don't mind that the employees there (typically) don't necessarily display copious amounts of technical knowledge. It is a sales job, after all. A minimal amount of knowledge is all that is needed. However, I do get irritated when they try to mislead me into the up-sell (via the bait-and-switch, or occassionally the outright lie). I no longer ask Fry's employees anything for this reason. Case in point: I asked a Fry's employee what the cheapest CD-RW they had available was. He consulted his list and told me $99. I doubted this and checked for myself. Mine came in at $60. Also, when they've got 512MB DDR in the paper for $50, I don't see why I need to spend 10 minutes convincing the salesperson there that that is what I want, not registered memory that costs 50% more. Just give me the goddamn DIMM already.
However, I do love the store (nice selection, decent return policy). I just ignore the salespeople.
