Don't feel too bad Rick, I've only just discovered the wonders of a chain called HomeSense, lots of good things for my ever ongoing renovation at very good prices.
Trying to do the impossible and get this thing back on track I start screaming "has anyone else noticed a push on plasma?"

The sales guy in my case was trying to steer me towards the LCD TVs ... he never mentioned anything regarding the plasmas

This is why I like shopping online, dealing with annoying salespeople just totally turns me off. Most of the time I know what I want and they still feel the need to keep talking, even when it's a sure fire sale.

I was in Visions just before xmas to help someone buy a new 40" lcd tv. We were steered slightly over to plasmas. When i told the salesman that i liked the contrast and colours, plus the lack of lcd lag, but i won't buy one b/c of its horrible energy consumption compared to lcd he says to me: "Well living here in Winnipeg that tv will add to the heat in your house over the winter cutting heating bills..." Funny how they neglect to mention the 35C summer sunny days part of the year though. I read recently that Panasonic just built a new plasma screen factory, just when i thought the technology was losing out and dying off in lieu of lcd.

Ya I was shopping with my sister at the FS years ago and we came up against these 2 salesmen. They almost seemed to be working as a team good salesman/bad salesman. I just told them the good/bad routine wasnt working and told them to go away. I went and found a nice non pushy guy. He got the sale instead.

I know people want me to donate my plasma. Yeah, but do they work for best buy?

I've been in Future Shop at times where it seems like they have more salespeople than customers. You feel like a goldfish with the words "bite me" on your ass swimming in a tankfull of pirhannas.

I haven’t stepped into a BB since the early 90s. Worst customer service I’d ever seen in retail. About the only way I’d go back is to check out a going out of business sale. Maybe your experiences are a sign of something
