They don't know which plumbing fixtures are better or worse do you think a plumber would work here?

I mean sometimes they do know, they're individuals after all with varying levels of knowledge and experience. If they say they don't know I thank them and move on, but plenty of times they've been able to answer my questions. Seems a bit patronizing to assume that just because they work at a store like that it means they don't know anything and can't answer questions. I actually literally asked an employee a question about a plumbing fixture in a big box store recently and, shocker, they were knowledgeable and had the answer to my question.
Exactly plus they're more likely to know and hear things about products. What tradesmen hasn't stopped and talked a person ear off about their go to stuff and why it is. There's plenty of tradesmen who know less than the person at the store as well.
