PVC to brass hose spigot

I'm baffled.
I'm running 3/4" PVC water line in my backyard. I figured I would just come up out of the ground and go to an elbow that is a slip joint on one side and 3/4 in threads on the other. I would then grab a brass spigot with three quarter inch male threads to go into that PVC elbow.
Apparently, it's not that easy. The spigot gets cross threaded and it looks as though the threads don't match up. The guy I talked to at Stine said they don't match up and he had no idea how to go from PVC to a brass water spigot.
So, I went over to home Depot and pretty much got the same response from the guy there.
Anybody out there know how to go from PVC to a brass spigot? I know there has to be a way....
Please help! I have four of these that I'm doing

Yes. You can go straight to a hose bib on pvc. I do it often. The threads match. All NPT threads. Don’t ever listen to Stine, HD, Lowe’s employees. Also, never use Teflon tape on metal to plastic threads. Use pipe dope. The Teflon will cause either the adapter to crack or cross thread the metal. FYI.

a 3/4" PVC female adapter should work OP. I'm no plumber, but I am a former HD employee 
Like the guys above said, don't listen to jackasses like me. Quite certain they thread up just fine. Pipe thread is pipe thread.

Not a plumber but I have run a few PVC water lines and never had a problem connecting a threaded metal hose bib to a PVC fitting.
