·In my experience, it's not the brand or the store so much as it is the associate you work with. Sometimes I'll walk in to a boutique and get a cold reception, but keep going in and eventually I'll find the watch nerd who's having as much fun showing me the watches as I am trying em on.
Have very rarely found that person at a multi-brand AD though.
I think it's about how couteous, curious and humble you are as an individual. The other person will react accordingly to the vibes that you give.
