Mex - many thanks. You mentioned it last year, and this winter I had a chance to test - yes, Tengo Pregunta is a magic spell. They react immediately. No comparison to all those Perdone, Senor, Quisiera, Oiga etc.
If nothing else helps, of course. In a relaxed setting I would start with something like Di me, or Que piensas tu. Tengo Pregunta sounds a bit demanding. Though, if store clerk already addressed me with "En que puedo servirle?" or How can I help you (yes, they learn English, and faster than we learn Spanish), then I cold tell that I "got a question".
That distracted young girl in a store probably had something/somebody else on her mind when you talked to her - duh...
