I’ve found on average that the younger the worker is, the more likely they are to ask if you need help finding something. Every time it’s an older worker they scatter into the canals and sewer grates from fear of having to use their handheld.
But also the younger the worker, the less likely they are to know where the thing is. They’re going to pull out their phone and look it up on the website. Go to a local hardware store if you want people who know where things are and what those things do.
I actually started to write that out and stopped. The last time I was “helped” this very nice young girl took me back and forth across the store to the spots I already searched and eventually she asked an older worker who knew where it was. She walked past the item and I had to tell her “it’s right here thanks for your help”. I wouldn’t have found it on my own, but she also wouldn’t have found it on her own.

Unfortunately, it’s also true that the younger the worker is, the less likely they are to know where anything is.

Dang it! I just replied with the same thing and then saw your comment right after sending mine.
