This is something I’ve noticed lately. A lot of hifi shops and hifi manufacturers have helpful staff, but just as many are extremely rude and arrogant.
I’ve had people speak condescendingly about my amp when I’m demoing speakers. Same thing for my speakers. I’ve even had someone, and I kid you not, tell me my streamer has shit sound quality.
It seems like hifi shops are either extremely helpful or just downright awful. The same with manufacturers, they either recognise that there exists alternatives or everything sucks ass compared to their product.
Maybe your streamer does have shit sound quality!?
Shout out to Saturday Audio in Chicago. Chill dude with unpretentious attitudes
simple, you’re talking to a salesman. they might be arrogant in your perspective but thats how a salesman is to be expected. and weather you like it or not it just works.
Any high-end boutique item/shop is like this. Go into a Gucci store and they’ll crap on anything that’s not Gucci.
Now you know how a woman feels in a car dealership. Sucks, doesn’t it.
Not just the one‘s at shops but also at shows! I (17) got basically ignored at the chord booth at the „Mitteldeutsche HiFi-Tage“, probably because I look like can‘t afford chord, I mean, I do but I planned to buy when I can afford it an M-Scaler and now I won‘t.
This has been going on since the 70s. There’s a British comedy sketch about it. Someone has probably already linked it in the comments.

only lately?
Have you seen the people in this sub?
Seriously often i ask a question here and the person is so rude.
Hi-Fi shops employ humans. Humans have opinions. Humans possess bias. Humans are flawed.
I haven’t had that experience here in ATL. It’s actually been very supportive and educational. Even today, I went to Best Buy in Alpharetta and was blown away by the remodeling of the store and the new rooms they had for A/B testing as well as the customer service from the employee handling the section.
