    You have made a typo in imbeciles. Were you rushing to post? I suppose the staff in store could have been so busy getting the store ready for business that day they couldn't spare a member of staff to supervise adults who should know better than to be so rude as to queue jump?

    Perhaps people should have piped up at the time and challenged them instead of just letting it happen hoping they were going to get a ticket anyway?

    Perhaps your vent should be at the people who actually pushed in?

    Just a thought.

    God forbid anyone in the queue should actually think, perhaps the people in the queue were foolish and dense.

    Why buy a TV anyway when there's great entertainment in forums like this? :rotfl:

    If there were only five tickets, why did most of the queue bother sticking around?
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    ...it was very slightly entertaining and amusing earlier but the 'Three' have 'bottled' it for some reason!

    Oh dear dmg24 you live in danger of being called foolish, dense and a troll....are you bothered? No? Me neither!

    I note there's no answer to your post...perhaps you've contradicted yourself so many times (or not...the truth doesn't appear to matter with these guys) they feel they cant reply. Or perhaps they just have no answer?

    That's ok, I'm a dumbass anyway for suggesting that a business might want to make a profit! ;)

    You've contradicted yourself so many times I don't need to come back at you. We're all just laughing at how stupid you're making yourself look.



    ...where and how many times have I contradicted myself...who are the 'we' that are laughing?

    Are you calling me stupid on top of foolish, dense and a troll by your fellow 2 bullies?

    I think you have...do you want to retract or stand by your statement?


    Your choice..

    Ever heard of a concept called 'delegation'?



    The point is that if you are going to make people queue up for a limited resource even a spotty youth on day release who had a little commons sense would realise that you would need to monitor the queue.

    The fact that an Argos manager didn't even have the sense to delegate that task to someone tells us something about the management ability of said manager.



    Sadly, they are. :(

    And your job is? because you are definitely are not a brain surgeon!!!

    God forbid Someone would not want to stays there like a sheep and queue jump if possible. I know I would. There are always people like that So you need to do the same.

    Gordikin, I know exactly what you're saying but I don't think anyone else does! You're basically saying the same as the others but maybe not explaining it the best way!
