Now that's confusing. What about hashtags, do they have poundtags?

Personally I'm finding more and more that I can become far more 
knowledgable than the salesperson by spending a short amount of time 
researching online. And speaking to several friends and family who 
do/have worked in various physical shops I would certainly never assume 
any salesperson was acting in your best interests. You're probably OK 
discussing resistors with the local Maplins geek though :-)
