I would say in the past few years, over 75% of the LBS staff have been fine in terms of addressing my questions and whenever I need a bike repair done. To me, it helps that I do talk knowledgeably, confidently by referring to bike parts, I am wearing (used) cycling shoes and some of my clothing does indicate I'm a cyclist without looking overly too kitted-out.
Some of the stores have female staff and those stores do make a difference overall in general treatment.
I am 5'1", so smaller bike size is a constant problem to me. There is a lot less choice on this smaller end.
