How are you treated by salespeople when shopping for personal/home electronics?

Salespeople have a range of personalities.  However, women often feel that they are not treated with enough respect by salespeople when purchasing electronics such as TVs, computers, etc. 

What has your experience been?  Do you feel that you are treated with respect by electronics salespeople?

Poorly - I'm ignored or patronized (15.5%)

OK - I'm treated alright, but could be better (57.3%)

Well - I'm treated respectfully (27.3%)

    Of course depends on how sales/cashier person is and they need to be respectful also. But I use to be a Cashier/Retails sales/custmor service in the pass, and to be honest it's more stressful then people think. Plus I sometimes will help the baggers at the Super Markets/Food Stores......................

    Depends where I shop. When purchasing big ticket items the sales people are not always educated in regards to the electronics they are selling.

    I usually have pretty good sales persons when I shop for personal/home electronics.

    They are polite. Most of the time they have no product knowledge. (Instead of chatting with the other dept employees they should be using that time to read packaging and vendor information)

    I usually have pretty good people that I deal with I usually do research and talk to people to see what items are best so when I go buy something I am ready to just pick it up and buy.

    When it comes to electronics I find that I'm treated poorly. I guess I don't look like I'm going to buy. I usually will find someone to help me out and I'm happy to give them the sale.

    I am treated okay, if I can actually get someone to help me. It seems everyone is always too busy talking with other employees or there isn't enough help to go around. Waiting for a short period of time is okay, but too much time and a sale could be lost.

    To be honest, I don't really like to be bothered while I shop so my opinion is probably subjective!

    I find that when shoping walmart, target ect the sales people are helpful. Just this weekend I called Target to speak to the toy dept. The electronics dept took the call and helped me with what I needed.
