He probably had you pegged as the sort who would waste his time getting all the information and then order online anyway.Went to another local town today on business, whilst there I looked into the Currys branch was really taken with laptop, lot's of sales staff all chatting no approach to me no acknowledgement I was genuinely interested in the machine even checking the system properties etc , the sales guy stood one metre away too busy yacking to some mates etc

Not much left and it reminded me of Woolworths, bare shelves, staff who know they've lost their jobs still doing their utmost to serve the rude, arrogant, ignorant scum that abuse them. 
Earlier posts in this thread talk about using retail stores as showrooms before buying online. I did this a few months ago and left Comet with a 50" TV in my hands

You're not wrong there. We bought our first microwave 20+ years ago. Its a Matsui (Dixons own brand I think?). Its still going strong today, and doesn't even look old.
I suspect it will out live me
My parents bought me a Matsui microwave as a house warming present when I bought my first place back in 1991 and it's still going strong! It's a bit large by modern standards and the beep when it's finished could wake the dead, but it's been faultless.I suspect it will out live me

If you're too shy to ask for help then Internet shopping is probably best for you. People in shops get moaned at on a regular basis for hassling people who are just looking so it isn't unusual to need to ask for help.
But perhaps the fact I had just bought 2 WD hard drives five minutes previously from the place had paid on card and had the carrier bag in my hand could have given a clue that I was interested ?Or the fact that I actually went to the machine and after making eye contact with him that was ignored proceeded to go into the machines properties to look at processor type and ram capacity or the fact that I looked at the display card and angled it towards me ?
The thing I was interested in was this: how did the cashback thing work and the timescale it was quoted as £499 but £600 payable I was interested to know how it worked etc
This guy just didn't give a toss despite what spin you could put on it he wasn't busy the shop wasn't busy there was only me and another woman in it at time and the place was dead it wasn't after a hard day either it was around 10.45 am
Put simply this guy was more interested in talking jack to his mates and my view is that if he didn't care to bother maybe I shouldn't ? It was simple ignorance
I can get your point about not being hassled but a simple polite acknowledgment would have been nice simple as that. Perhaps he thought I was a timewaster hmmm well I had just bought 2 items and I was smartly dressed so I don't see how that tallies up
Oh and despite the internet I would say that 70% of my purchases in the last 4 years are made in stores
This was the smaller currys outlet btw
Now maybe its all my fault but I don't think so and its irritated me enough to actually write to Currys to complain, he did himself and the branch no favours
We can all have opinions etc but when branches close and jobs are lost its perhaps not always the fault of the customers I wont reply again as I feel little point now but some people in retail should maybe think a little more
The same could also be said about' people who choose to use forums to take pops at people perhaps
Anyway moving on Comet Blackpools definite last day at Hollyoak Ave and believe same at Squires Gate
Hardly anything in but nice chance to pop in and say bye to some of the people I met there when I worked there some are sorted most are not
It wouldn't surprise me if the B and Q next to it shut soon very restricted amount of lines in the place etc really surprised at lack of some items but they may have moved space for xmas items dunno

So another £48m down the pan from government coffers!
Why?Stopped in the Lakeside/Thurrock store yesterday ahead of moving into my first flat with my girlfriend....picked up:
microwave - £90 to £27ish
toaster - £30 to £9
box of paper - £5
netbook case - £6
only thing is that they left the security tag on the case - an evening was spent with the pliers trying to take it off....especially as there is no longer a comet shop to go back to...
