I've been in two other stores nation wide, same thing. My local store keeps wheelchairs for seniors.
My 89 year old mom gets treated better at Microcenter then she does at her physician's office.
They will have a salesperson waiting for her with a chair at the door. Their security guy watches a camera for that.
Did I mention the clean bathrooms?

Don't forget the free coffee, at least at the Detroit area one a few years ago, vending machine by the service desk.
But yeah, Microcenter is great, not only is it well staffed, but also they'll leave you the hell alone when you don't need them. I wish I was closer to one.

Nonsense. It's always been there. I remember old ham radio operators who wouldn't talk to kids back when I first got started decades ago as a teenager. Ditto for other hobbies as well.

In ye old days QSL (magazine) always had photos of octogenerians teaching kids Morse Code or helping with equipment.
When I was learning, an older stranger ham helped me.

Do you mean an older ham who was stranger than you, or an older ham who was a stranger to you? :)
Those photos probably came from the same type of piles of stock photography that show every workplace to be full of shinny, happy, handsome young people who just coincidently represent every major ethnic group on the planet despite the fact that the group is too small in number for that to even be a remote possibility without contrivance.
