There are not. It is totally up to the consumer to be educated and shop around. Thank goodness for online e-tailers like Amazon, B&H Photo Video, and several others. Costco and Sam's Club are nice too for TVs.
I don't expect boutique service but the base level of knowledge of the sales staff at Worst Buy is frightening. Like I stated, with competition being whittled down from Circuit City, Good Guys, and Worst Buy, there is even less incentive to provide that better level of service.
