Well, body language, tone of voice could have you take this one in several ways. You could call it arrogance; you could say that he was happy to share his knowledge even if you bought somewhere, which would be nice, if that's how he intended the comment. Remember, he was running late, and it sounds as though it were after closing time.

If you're not comfortable with that shop, by all means, go elsewhere. Just from what you've written, it sounds like a keeper, but again, I wasn't there.
