It is sad that quality of gun store employees that you see. The big box stores are the worst because the Store Manager initially hires some of them and if that person is clueless well he can fall for people off the street blowing fluff and hire them. Then the issue propagates IMO. You just keep getting clowns in there. It is nice to walk into a store where the owner or counter people are informed. I walked into one small town store and chatted with the owner and one of his customers....an old timer. After and hour the old timer told me that I knew my stuff.....unlike most people. I got a good laugh about that and think of it now because that is the other side of the coin. You have clueless employees and customers in some instances. Years ago when I went into the big stores the gun counter guys wouldn't help me because I looked really young for my age. Guess they figured I couldn't afford to buy them. If they worked commission....their mistake.
