It was interesting when we were furnishing our apartment and we went to McKellars in Coal Harbour. We were honestly interested to learn about their furnitures, but the lady wasn't interested in selling anything to us. We had to drag information out of her.
I guess she didn't think we would really be buying from there (us being in our early 30s), but it was largely due to that attitude that we ended up buying from elsewhere. They lost $30k with their attitude.

Yeah, that's how it should work but the salesperson needs to be diligent so that the customer doesn't feel pressured and watched. It's a delicate balance act.
It is interesting that see that so many of you Canadians are also uncomfortable with pushy service, as I though it's a North-American thing and you guys love small talk. I guess people are similar everywhere.
Good point about the shoplifting, btw.

If we are to believe what we are being told about the removal of viaducts, it will bring peace to Middle East and stop hunger in Africa, so I think that is sure to happen.
