| Just complain nicely and don't be a git to the staff, I'm sure they don't get up in the morning thinking 'I must make a balls-up today'. |

Yeah, I know that I'll get a better response if I smile rather than being arsey and it's not a personal assault on the staff. I just want to see if I can get a bit of money back. It's worth a try. These things happen with all the technology in shops now - I know cos that's my husband's job, only he works for the opposition!
Thanks for giving the retailer's side of things :-) |

Fair enough, I'm sure that you personally don't wish ill towards retailers because of mistakes, you seem a reasonable person, but some people are utter bastards in shops because they believe that "it's the only way to get what you want", these people also believe that not doing what you want them to do is being "unhelpful", when in truth what they want is unreasonable and beyond their entitlement.
The nicer people are to me, the harder I'll try and help people. I'm not employed to be someone's verbal punchbag.
That said, in times of extreme anger towards 'customers', I have fantasised about winning the lottery and opening a shop somewhere and being as unbelievably rude and insulting to people as I can for a day, and then closing the business and moving on. Just for the hell of it really.
See what you people out there do to us retailers?
See what your 'kicking up a fuss' causes? Hmmmm?

anyway, they should charge the price on the shelf. |

oh yeah, right mate. that's what she's telling you. if she's from ireland like Edel she's got a hiace stashed away somewhere around Sheffield and she's filling it with all her illgotten gains to sell for a HUGE profit back on the sod stuff like - Shiny TrackSuits, Baby Bibs with the names "Jordan", "Nike" and "I Shagged Westlife" and on and on. seriously, keep them eyes peeled :-D |

Who was the first knacker into heaven?
