Unfortunately, it's just not feasible. Salespeople are just not necessary for many day to day purchases, and the costs of a giant big box store don't work out.

Also, the information obtained from various online forums, reviews, websites and youtube could be more reliable and complete than from a salesperson. There are specialized products where a good salesperson can do wonders, but just not for much of retail.

Well I was picturing specialty retail and things like dealers, not really big box stores. I think big boxes are doomed, and I think we're better as a society for it.
