I also dislike having to educate people at a store that is supposed to know their stuff. I bet it was tough not to laugh at them.
To live in a small town.
I am building a swing mount for my iPhone for the boat. I use stuff I have accumulated when I can, but sometimes I have to stuff.
Well, I needed a metric screw, so I went to the local hardware store. I was greeted wit the “can I help you” . I responded with “I need a M5 20 millimeter”. He responded with “sorry we don’t sell guns here”.
I knew I was out of luck.
The bar is a 5 inch 2020 T rail. I made the end pieces from abs scrap piece.
I drill tapped the center of both ends of the t rail so to screw on the end cap and t rail swivel end.
I am still in need of some 5M 20mm.

Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
I moved from a big city to outside a small town a few years back and couldn't get used to them rolling up the sidewalks on Saturdays, and for convenience I have a small city about 40 mi away.
