This is why I never lasted long as an employee there. I could never bring myself down to their level, I talked straight with the customer, tried to find out what it was HE/SHE wanted, and then let them know everything I knew about the item. Mind you, I wasn't pretending to know everything, just letting them know everything I can tell them, and they in turn give me more info back, so I learn as well.
I was always referred to as the 'nice one' by customers, because I talked to them like fellow musicians, not customers.
It's unfortunate, but being a douchebag sells gear. And I could never pretend to be a douchebag even if I tried.
