> 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? I am kicking myself (I refer to my stated adversity to these arrangements). But I would expect staff to be either knowledgeable/honest enough not to encourage a situation approaching dishonesty to their bread-&-butter, ie customers. > > 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? At the end of the day you don't expect professional sales staff to lie or store managers to say tough-shit when presented with a customer discrepancy. > > It is not like it is hard to find a thoroughly reputable retailer like John Lewis. > > >
