i was in the shop spending a lot of money and ic ould just have turned round and asked for a refund while all the other staff are selling toasters and stuff.

So the poor saleslady was actually doing her job and serving other people. What are the other customers with the toasters etc supposed to do? Wait whilst your car is loaded? Or is it an issue with the amount you spent? You probably spent £200 and expected more service than the guy with the toaster. What if someone showed up wanting a £2,000 American fridge? Should they jump to the front of the queue because they are spending 10 times more than you?

Some retail stores have wacko policies about who can and can't do things, more so if the staff are not trained in manual handling.

I dont think its a case of they couldnt be bothered, probably they were all serving someone. Sign of the times, short staffed probably.

At least she asked someone to come and help and they did. I really dont think its a reason to tell people not to shop there

Dyson, you bought a Dyson. Mr Dyson took all the grants from Britain that he could and then sodded off abroad, making thousands of people redundant, that and they break down easily is why I personally would never buy one.

Do they? My 15 year old one is still going

How do you know she could?

Maybe she knew she couldn't lift the vacuum, or it wasn't her job, or she couldn't leave the area she was in, or maybe she'd done it before and got into trouble ...?
I don't think waiting ten minutes for someone to help you is bad at all. If you couldn't lift it yourself then you could have had it delivered.

Also, how did you manage to get it out of the car when you got home?

One of the problems with the great british workforce...Its not ny job ...unbelievable

Having said that 10 minutes wasnt long to wait but the assistant "its not my job" could have handled it better

I've been using mine for 12 years without problems.

When I was in retail if I'd left my workstation the manager would have had a fit and other customers would then be disgruntled that I wasn't doing the job I was supposed to do. Would I annoy my boss and other customers to carry an impatient customer's heavy box?

Would I heck.
And I wouldn't expect any of the Currys workforce to either.

Ten minutes? Ten? That's ten minutes of your life you will never get back, when you could have been doing one of these

I wonder if the OP had been buying an American fridge he/she would have asked the assistant to carry it to the car? And got upset when the assistant said no?
