Awesome. But you're a sliver of real-world sales practices, I'm betting (knowledgeable, informed staff truly interested in their customer's needs, budget, etc.). You know you're in the minority on that sort of thing. There aren't stores and malls full of helpful, honest Ken. We all know this.

You can't be everywhere, buddy.

I think of all the people walking into showrooms staffed by shady diphits, full-tilt know-nothings and/or commission hounds.

Those still exist too, and so many people still wind up in those crosshairs. They shouldn't, but they do. IMO, in 2021, going into a situation blind and ignorant, is pretty tough to excuse; show a little initiative and concern about where your hard-earned money is going, and do your front-end research before you buy anything (car, computer, golf club, air fryer, strap-on, etc.). There's this thing called "the Internet" that makes doing so pretty easy and convenient.

It's a two-sided thing: blithely ignorant consumers and lousy retailers/sales staff circling like sharks. *chomp*
