Ben,
Someone in the shop should be able to demonstrate it for you. Listen for it to ring out nice and clear, unplugged. Watch them play it. If they struggle with something, ask them if it OK.
If you know any chords, give them a try. If not, play every fret of every string. 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, over and over, from the top to bottom, until you have played every note on the guitar. It gets a bit harder in the upper register, but relax and take your time. You do not have to plug it in to an amp.
You should not have to fight with the guitar, and it will get even easier with practice.
They can show you volume and tone controls, how the pickup selector works for different tones.
I'm sure you will enjoy it.
