Don't leave the store without buying and fitting a UV filter to the lens. A UV filter will not only filter UV light but more importantly ensure that the lens itself is kept free from dirt and scratches.
You can replace a scratched UV filter for a lot less than a lens will cost to replace. Ask the camera store to throw a UV filter in to sweeten the deal on your purchase, most places will and it's the best thing you could do to protect your new lens.

Excellent advice. The lens I just bought with my new Cannon 10 D cost $299, the filter $26 bucks! Even for such an inexpensive lense it's well worth doing!
