I did a similar action last week: walked in a shop and started asking if they sold alternativesfor Windows - response negative. Then (after explaining I was not talking to them on the 'customer-side') talked with them about how they can offer customers a free solution, with free support via the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList, possibly by (in Belgium) a map with location of persons who are willing to give demo or assist on installation (http://map.ubuntu-be.org/index.php), this to show the shop-owner that it does not end after providing the customer with a free OS on their PC: this also makes their PC's cheaper to sell with same profit, so there's something in it for the shop owners as well as for the end-customers
