The guys from the show are very rarely in the store and never do any real business there anymore outside of filming. The transactions on the show are staged. It's mostly a tourist attraction/souveneir shop these days, with a small roped off counter for pawning. If they like your item enough, there's a small chance they choose it for the show. You'd come back the next day for filming and I read that it takes an hour + to film a 5 minute transaction.
Yep. That way the guy behind the counter looks like a genius because he knows so much about every random item that people bring in.
Plus every expert is always available at a moments notice to leave their business and come to the pawn shop.
