No I don't.
I buy most of my parts either online or in a specific shop where the owner sells OEM parts "under the counter"
There are basicly 3 possible scenarios when I'm walking into a shop:
1) I want to buy something specific.
2) I want to ask for advice about something specific because I plan on buying it.
3) I'm just wandering around because I like looking at cool bike stuff and I have nothing better to do at the time.
A good salesperson will know in which mood I am and will react accordingly.
