In my righteous rage I've even gone and grabbed one of the feckless shop floor staff who were stood around chatting to one another and asked them to serve me, only to be greeted with the old chesnut "I don't work tills, sorry". A trick I've found is to do some research and find out the local store Managers name, and then ask for him by first name when the jobsworth's aren't helping you. They'll often shuffle off for a few seconds and then come back with "He's not available, but I guess I can help"...
