I don't get apprehensive about entering a music shop, but there are a couple of stores here where the staff work on commission, so when you go inside they're always in your face trying to sell you a guitar or piano or something. I try not to go into those ones! I know they need to get paid, but they don't need to be super annoying at the same time.

If I'm in a store trying out a piano or a guitar and the person next to me plays better or whatever, so be it. 99% of the people in those stores are just there to browse and try stuff out - not to impress somebody! Nor do most of them care if somebody plays the same instrument worse than they do. After all, they once played like that too!
