I, too, find being asked if I need to be helped thirty-five times to be irritating. And, even more iriritating, the level of "help" that I will receive if I take them up on it is, at best, questionable. I find the actual technical know-how of the average Best Buy employee to be just south of terrible. And the problem is that they are, apparently, incapable of saying "I don't know". So if you ask them a question to which they do not know the answer, they will just make something up. Ignorance is one thing, providing incorrect information is much worse. But I guess you can't expect to have a highly educated and skilled workforce when you're paying just over minimum wage. It's like surly, uninterested workers at fast food restaurants - I can't really blame them; I wouldn't want that job at that wage, either.
