I work at EMS part time (to feed my addiction). I have been rock and ice climbing for 25+ years, guided and am a total "Gear Whore".
To the defense of the sales clerks...they really are only doing their job, and hell...after standing around folding clothes...who wouldn't want to go talk gear with someone that seems interested???
Tha being said, I generally ask if there is anything specific they are looking for, or if they are finding everything OK..and allow them to either start jawing it up or ask a question. I never operate under the assumption that I am coming from a place of authority or greater knowledge.
some clerks don't get the cues and can be very annoying for sure though...
