In my experience, most divers are very helpful and are happy to give a hand / demonstrate something when required.I've had completely the opposite experience - just one shop though - and I sort of expected this everywhere. Now I know better.
On a recent diving trip, the tank strap on my BCD came loose. My husband/buddy noticed and came over to fix it. Neither of us are seasoned divers so the DM was paying attention and came to watch. Noticing his (probably flawed) technique, he motioned "watch me" to my husband and showed my husband how to correctly fix it. As a newbie, I sort of like that level of service and ongoing training.
