I own a bike that cost considerably less than $800, and I've never been treated poorly by a bike shop employee in this town. Of course, I live in a town full of college students who use a variety of bikes as transport and bike enthusiasts. My roommate rides a beat-up Schwinn mountain bike, and hasn't run into any problems either--and he spends considerably more time in bike shops than I do.
Every bike shop is different; shop around and find one whose employees and prices you like.
