A good salesman will always make you feel like a friend. Listen but remain skeptical and get your advice from experienced cyclists rather than the bike shop.
The "best" auto-mechanics will make you feel like they're on your side and saving you tons of money with their honesty while robbing you blind. I'm glad I don't drive anymore. There's a lot less mystery and potential for that with a bicycle.
