You never know about Shack Rats.   I had bought a couple of small items last 
week, then remembered to ask "I'm looking for magnet wire...", being prepared 
to explain to the 30-ish woman clerk what that was.  She took me right to it!  
Maybe didn't know what it was for, but she knew *they had it* and *where it 
was*.  And I hadn't seen her there a couple months ago, so she learned quick.

A couple months earlier, I picked out a replacement battery for a Radio Shack 
cordless phone, and an alert clerk (a guy this time) stopped me from buying a 
battery that was *almost* the correct one, and subbed the right one (at lower 
price too!).

Luck of the draw, I suppose.  FWIW, any halfway conscious clerk should be 
able to steer you to the display of wall warts.  Picking out the right one, or 
the right voltage, is your job -- though it can't hurt to tell the sales person 
exactly what you need.
