I had the same issue. I told them I knew nothing, had no accoutrements, etc. They sold me a $2 patch kit. When my BFF, who got me into cycling, found out she hit the roof. I don't get it - I told them I'd been given a bike, and so all of the money I had been saving for the actual bicycle was going to be used to get all the accessories.
I guess they don't like making money?
