That must be the same phenomenon where if you walk into a store in a hurry, really needing something but are not able to find it. In that situation no salesperson will ever ask if you need help finding something, they will be running for the back room or telling you, "I just went on break.".
Conversely, if you walk into a store knowing right where the thing you need is located, you're guaranteed to have salespeople literally begging to help you find what you need, and they will not leave you alone.
