Why would anyone who shops for specific products at a GENERAL retailer expect the clerk du jour to be an expert on any particular item in the store?

I look at situations like this as opportunities to pass some of my knowledge on to the clerk and hopefully make that individual a little more knowledgeable for the next person who comes along.
