Question on the subjunctive

I think this is right, and probably basic as far as the subjunctive goes, but just before I start using it can someone please confirm that:

If you begin a sentence with a negative statement and there's a change of subject following 'que', then the second part of the sentence should in the subjunctive, - even though the subject are not necessarily both people. Clear as mud? lol, here's an example smile

No hay nada en esta tienda que quiera.

There's nothing in this shop that I want.

Yes, the second part of the sentence should be in subjunctive. Your example is a bit odd, this is more frequent:

"No hay nada en esta tienda que me interese"
