Are you the kind of customer who enters a store and search around for a few minutes for the item you are looking for before and only to resort to ask a salesperson for assistance if the search has failed?
OR
Are you the kind of customer who enters a store, looks around for 3 seconds, realizes the item he's looking for is not right in front of him and asks the next salesperson "Before I have to look around long, do you have <insert item name>?" Perhaps even followed by the refusal to take any directions with the words "Can you please show me"? (Note: The "Please" is optional)

I'll generally only ask if I've been around the entire store three times and the security is starting to get worried. And I hate being 'sold' to, so I try to keep my interaction with the staff fairly minimal.

I hate sales staff who try to sell things, they are there in case of emergencies only. I'd operate the till myself if only they'd let me, if only.

Self-service tills mate, only you can't buy restricted items without assistance.

Self service - for cock rings, ky etc, tills for food and drink. Only ask the staff if there's a slim chance of a downblouse...  ..Or an upskirt

Yeah, I avoid shops/people wherever possible, people suck. In answer to your question, I tend to look as much as possible/as I can be bothered before generally walking away without what I went in for. It would have to be something epicly vital for me to ask someone for it.

I'll always engage in convo with the shop staff just because they have to talk back to me instead of just standing there with a look of revulsion on their fizog.

I'm usually a straight in, find what i'm looking for, make a quick impulse purchase along the way to getting what I'm after and then get the hell outta there.
If I can't find it though - I have no reservations in asking for help.
Having worked for Comet for a couple of years - I know most things sales people try to say - so I tend to dismiss any sales spiel with a short sharp "no thanks"

I don't have to ask where I can find whatever I'm looking for. I'm a woman. I walk in the store, look around and whatever I'm looking for finds ME!
Okay, IF there is ever something I need to find but don't know where, I see if I can find someone to tell me.. not that easy sometimes

Having worked in retail for many years, I go out of my way not to annoy anyone there unless it's some kind of uber emergency.

Tipically I like the "Leave me alone, I'll bloody ask if I want help" approch. Thankfully being harased by sales assistanst doens't happen in supermarkets. Although every so often you do get the bastads from EDF energy sleezing around the ailses. Once uppon a time, a paroxide blonde aproched with a smile that was most comonly seen on something in the ocean acopanied by a double base sound track. She nearly got the first sentense out befor I cut in with "No thanks". She tried again. This got a sterner "No thank you". Third time lucky, Oh boy. Comence full verbal assult. "WHAT PART OF NO DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?" I find the trick is to be loud but never swear. Also remember to walk into their personal space, thet get's them on the back foot. So after a couple of seconds of loud point blank range sarcasum, I sucseeded in getting her to shut up via a state of stunned silence and mini round of applause from Joe Public. I will ask for assistance when I deem that I require some. Don't try and sell me stuff uninvited. I'll go shopping for what I want when I sodding want it

I'm never that lucky. I know she had eyes as she was walking towards me. No woman with working eyes & zero head trauma would ever approch me to offer crank lubeage services. Trust me on this
