Asking for help from the supermarket employees...

This morning I heard someone say to a supermarket stocker in the aisle, "le gusta..., ____ una consulta....

Can someone fill in the blanks for me? I didn't have paper with me and unfortunately forgot a lot, but I could really use a phrase like this. The lady was asking for an item and where it was located.

It seemed as if it was more like a 'pardon me' type thing she was saying to be polite. - katydew, Sep 25, 2011

Maybe it´s ¨me gustaría hacerle una consulta¨.

Quiero hacerle una consulta = I'd like to consult you/ask your advice, so it's a polite preface to asking something, such as where to find an item in the store. Could your phrase be a variation of this?

Maybe she said, "Le gusta hacer una consulta.." - Would that make sense? - katydew, Sep 25, 2011
