Absolutely, agreed. As soon as sales people work on commission you can kiss any good advice goodbye. They will sell you whatever has the biggest margin, btw, that does not mean most expensive. I had a friend who worked for the Pro shop, golf store. He always recommended the same clubs, no matter what your needs or skill or expectations were. Because they were affordable, super dooper *** clubs, and sold for 3 x what they paid for them. He smiled every month when he got his cheque. I remember when I bought my first bike way back, went to a couple of shops, yet all the Cycle Lab stores wanted to sell me a Focus, all of them. Obviously a cash cow. Now I have a relationship with my local bike shop. It works out great. I give him money, he saves me troubles. Perfect.
