You should have 1-2" between the top tube and your body parts. That's while standing flatfoot. While actually riding, you will not be able to touch your feet to the ground if the bike is properly sized. I hope the shop didn't recommend this size; it seems too big.

If you can't place two fingers between the top tube and your crotch, then just it take back right away! That's if you purchased it new, from a dealership....
