No pedals, ask them if they can put anything on there. Old demo pedals, take-offs, etc. Most shops will, then buy your upgrades from them. Offer to return these.
Get a starter tool kit (tools/pump/etc). Most shops have an offering, and a tube to match your bike. I walked my 4 day old bike for an hour to get to a Canadian tire store to fix my first flat (lesson learned).
The last bike I bought this fall. That shop offered 20% off retail on all accessories for a month. I was surprised how much I enjoyed/used this, ask them.
If you enjoy the shop, staff and experience stop in once and awhile.

Hope this helps,
