It's the same reason that people approach me in stores, asking for help:
As I recall, both of us hate shopping. That means that we go into a store not to browse, but On A Mission For Something Specific. It's that air of "I know where I'm going and what I'm doing" that draws helpless customers to us.
(This does not apply to chocolate stores, of course, where one must browse before deciding upon the appropriate sweet morsel, but...)
