Let me guess. It wasn't a small specialized shop.

YES! My first pair of twin tips, the shop guy talked me (or forced me) into buying a pair of twin tips that I absolutely hated for the entire season that I was stuck with them. I'm still angry about it. I knew very little to nothing about twin tips, and not much about skiing. I think he successfully managed to unload a pair of skis that weren't selling.

happens all the time, especially at my local shop, the salespeople just know nothing, it's unfortunate.
