Very unlikely those are store employees. They most likely are employed by the 3d party service providers contracted to do the installs, etc. The voice of experience...I was never one of those guy, but I headed up a program like that as a supplier to HD, and we had our sales guys in there on a regularly scheduled basis.
So - they know doodly-squat about what/where in the store. But they are more than happy to sign you up for a free quote on replacement windows, cabinet refacing, etc.
When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.
