Agreed. I recently went to a store like this to purchase a light fixture where I continuously had to interact with a salesperson who referred to their customers as "clients" and I quickly became exhausted. I will purchase my light fixture online or perhaps Home Depot.

It isn't "hassled." The way sales people interact with you at normal stores is nothing like the interaction at a higher end store. If you don't want to be bothered in a high end store, you aren't bothered.
