I am sorry you guys had hard time at Dixons and Currys, but it does beg the question of why anyone buys anything from
these stores.

The poor service from these stores seems such common knowledge that I find it amazing that folks who are able to come
and surf these groups and post comments, are at the same time gullible enough to get suckered in by their sales staff.
My god, what were you even doing in there in the first place?

Is the British public that lazy that even though they are almost certain to have a friend, relative, colleague or
neighbour with a Dixons/Comet/Currys/Powerhouse/etc horror story, yet STILL they go there like lemings just because they
are convenient?

It is not like it is hard to find a thoroughly reputable retailer like John Lewis.
