What do you say when you walk into a store/the bank and there is no one at the otdel where you need service?

I think I heard someone say "Можно кого–то!?" once at the khoztovary store. Is that right? Is there another way?

My impulse is to say "Um... Hello!!" - so can you just say "алло!!" ?

Spaseebs.

"Есть здесь кто?", "Девушка (or парень), можете подойти?", "Можно вас?", "Не подскажете?", etc.
"Можно кого–то!?" not right.

"Парень, можете подойти?" Are you serious? You don't sound like you're from Rostov-on-Don, dont'you? :)

Referring to people by their sex is regarded as bad taste, low style and, generally, illiterate speech.

Oh yes, together with "Мужчина, вас здесь не стояло!" Are you kidding?

я имел ввиду, если продавец - девушка. это может быть и парень, конечно)
"Девушка (мужчина), можете подойти?" - is one of the widespread questions in this situation

Do you seriously think it's good Russian?
