Argos Tried To Sell Us Insurance For £4.99 Lamp!

DecentLivingWage

We were being patient with argos and politely turned down the insurance offer for the Value Convection heater, then for the Nintendo game...... but when it came to the £4.99 lamp.... and the bulb....:rotfl: .... we gave up and spoke our minds! (Soon be more than cost of lamp! Better off chucking in bin and getting new)

Had the same at Dixons many years ago £5 alarm clock. £6.99 insurance.

I feel sorry for the staff, as I did when I worked in retail, for the decisions made by "upper management" who force them to ask these stupid questions for low value items with the fear of a disciplinary if they do not.

I've never lived near one.

If I bought batteries in Argos it would have been because I was desperate for batteries for my xbox controller and had just bought a must have game in Argos as they were cheapest on the game.

(Know I should get plug and play controller but cba)

Argos would try to sell you your granny if they could. these warranties and performance or pay on commission basis should be outlawed.

years ago I bought a camera for £99 - the shop tried to sell me insurance for £49.99 - yet reading the small print it had a £50 excess!

The shop assistant could not understand why I didn't want the insurance - spend 15 mins trying to explain it to her ....

It's not their fault, they're the retailers. It's yours if you're dumb enough to buy it
