I find that it depends on the sales person, not the store. I've had a-holes at Soundsaround screw my mom into buying a S-Video chord way back when I first got my Xbox (1st gen). I've had people make smug remarks about me not purchasing warranty, one guy told me "ok, just don't come crying to me when it breaks". Like wtf?
On the other hand I have had some excellent guys just load me up with info. without trying to sell me extra crap.
My advise is to pick your salesperson, usually you can tell a good one from a bad one, rather than letting them come to you.
