My mom had a similar situation at Circuit City. She was needing help with a new laptop while the sales staff was all over a teenage blonde who was browsing CD’s.
I’m not phased by not getting help unless I seek it out. I’m one of the lucky ones: I worked in retail and manage to not be asked if I can help someone find things. I attribute that to my natural Aura of Malice, as I’ve heard it called. One of my friends flat up called it that and described it alternatively as a “stay the f- away from me” field.
Useful, most days, when all I want to do is get what I need to get, then get out of the store and back home. I have to remember to switch it off, so to speak, before trying to find anyone when I actually do need help finding something.
At a lakefront bar & grill I was trying to get the bartender’s attention to order, no luck. Then I tried standing by the bikini woman that had come in. Success!

As a former teenage blonde myself, it isn’t that much fun to be mobbed by horny sales boys who don’t even want your money.
