I've always liked the stores where the staff simply say something like: 'Hello! Let me know if you need any help finding a size.' (or other relevant offer of help depending on the shop), then leave you to get on with shopping. I then find it much more comfortable asking for help if / when I need it, and with no pressure, compared with if it's been agressively offered and I've already turned it down, or if I've been ignored by shelf-stackers and am made to feel like I'm interupting.

'Hello! Let me know if you need any help finding a size.' (or other relevant offer of help depending on the shop), then leave you to get on with shopping. Well said. Like many other people have already said here, most of the time I don't need any help from the store staff, and I want to just get in, get what I need, and get the f%!# out without being bothered. BUT... I get annoyed on those rare occasions when I do actually need help finding something, and the store staff can't be found, or seem aloof, inattentive, etc. That's why I like your proposal... it doesn't seem cheesy and "salesy" and it's a declaration that "I'm here to help, IF/WHEN you need me". That's really all I want.
