Thanks for the chat last night I appreciated it. It is good to see that not all MSE folk have had a sense of humour bypass

Won't be online tonight because I'm on duty from 15:00 til the small hours but will catch up with you again no doubt.

I love your 'occasionally if I haven't got a headache' choice

Gotta say though grammar/spelling is only an issue if someone is having a pop at me. Otherwise it doesn't matter.

Yes thanks HD. I believe that I have a good sense of humour. I actually do find you amusing, even if others dont. Sometimes people only get so annoyed cos they cannot win with words.
To go back to the OP's post I actually do think he was over reacting a bit. If that had happened to me in Tesco, i would of wiped the floor with the rude staff Im one of these people who say what iv got to say, then thats it over and done with.

COLOR=red]X[/COLOR I've tried really really hard to resist this but I can't so I'll just have to post it anyway and get flamed.

your = means belonging to you eg 'your son'
you're = short for 'you are' eg you are a member of MSE.

Occuaptional hazard. But at least I feel better now.

and your point is
Your mistaking me for someone who actually gives a monkeys.

As a young'un working in a retail outlet, I used to completely ignore some people.

I would first engage them in a quick "hello, how can i help etc". If I thought the customer was a bit simple I would tell them browse freely and then let another sales person deal with them. I would ignore them.

Why? Because if they are a bit simple - ie. don't really know what they are talking about or if they are a bit 'so & so are doing x similar for cheaper' - then ignore.

WHy? Because I want a hassle free sale from someone who has done their research into a product & knows a little about what they are talking about. It saves all the hassle of "i didnt know", "you didnt say" "I dont know how to"

Go away. Let the other sales guys sell their product then deal with nonsense. I would move onto another sale. Less time dealing with complaints more time dealing with sales.....kerching kerching!

So basically what you are saying is:

If a customer come into the shop where you work and they haven't done their own research then they are simple and you are not prepared to help them. Sounds about correct for some people to day. How long do you intend to stay in your job?

yea, pretty much so. I used to work in retail.

Can you imagine having to walk through everybody who comes through the shop about technology? Its amazing! Sometimes Id tell them that they dont need an item / not to buy a computer at all. It would save all the hassle weeks later.

I wanted to deal with people who had knowledge -thats all. Saved me and them time and hassle.

Its the same mentality as the large Japanese electronic companies. They never use to sell directly to the public because the costs involved to implement a 'teach you how to use our product' would errode the profits. Hence the reason they supplied to the likes of DIxons, currys etc. That way the retailer could pick up the disgruntled / unaware end consumer , and if a consumer had a problem they would talk to the sales guy + customer services + technical who would then call ***whatever company*** who would resolve the issue.

You will hardly see Panasonic, Hitachi, Denon, Samsung etc companies selling directly. If you do, like Sony, they have to be authorised and even then Sony are franchises.


Lack of knowledge by the consumer would eat my time thus eat my commision. Its safer and easier to say - bye - dont want your business...

If I had to go back I would still do it!

I agree totally with dangerous.
Isn't it a bit like the x people who die in plane crashes? Strictly speaking it probably shouldn't happen but, economically speaking and for the greater good of the majority, sometimes you just gotta let 'em go...
(I'm paraphrasing from something I saw on tv btw, before the plane crash victim relatives assoc pipes up)
