Decide on what strings you want ahead of time. Don't ask if you can try them out before you buy. That'll for sure tip them off that you're an ignorant fool. If they don't have the ones you want, buy them somewhere else.

Honestly, the guy selling you the strings usually knows less about them than you do.
