You should take this matter up with your college's ethics committee or
report it to the Research Ethics Committee of a nearby University.
It is not ethical to perform such research using human guinea pigs (the
computer shop salespeople) without first having it examined by such a
committee. This may actually be a federal offense in the USA.
BTW, I don't think an ethics committee would allow such a research
project to be done at all.
