Still can't believe this company is in business.
We wanted an air fryer, but we had specific needs so we wanted to see some in person. Off to Curry's then. We wanted to see a specific model which they had in stock, but not on display, they had loads of them on the shelves. So I grabbed one, interrupted the two staff who were rather upset that a customer interrupted their tweets or whatever they were glued to their phones for, and asked if I could open the box and have a look.
No, sorry. We can't open boxes, it's got a security tag on it.
Of course that being utter horse**** I approach someone else, who then informs me that he only works mobile phones, but if I go to the customer services they'll be able to help. Of course the queue there has about 20 people waiting (no exaggeration, should've taken a photo actually) and the people behind the tills looked like they'd rather be flung off a mountain than doing that job so I put the box down and left.
Christmas eve my wifi card decides to die, so no internet for me. On the hunt for an ethernet cable so I can use my homeplugs, I walk in to Curry's again, and credit where it's due, a lovely girl in a santa hat walked straight up to me and asked if she could help with anything. She didn't know what an ethernet cable or a Cat5 cable is but after a bit of a description she pointed me towards the computer section. I almost fell over and when walking away from her I told my wife to buy a lottery ticket.
And then I realised why this company is still in business. How much for a cat5 cable, 2m long?
Fiver? Tenner because Currys?
£20.
Yes, £20 for a bog standard 2m Cat5e cable.
Bought two for a tenner elsewhere on the way home and supported a tiny local business in the process.
I absolutely actively loathe Curry's.
