Currys staff shouldn't get rude and call you an idiot if you don't buy their upsales and they should know the promotions that they have signs for

I'm really not sure how curys still exists, I only bought something from there as was on offer.

I had it reserved so expected to just rock up and collect it, I was wrong.

Waited for 15 mins for someone to serve me at the desk. Then when I said it was a tablet I was collecting they made me wait another 10 mins for their tablet "expert" to serve me.

He took ages on his computer, then disappear ed for 5 mins to get it. Then he came back and started on the hard sale of some "free" software that costs 80 but I can cancel it within 30 days and get my money back. I said no thanks, he got all assey saying I'd be an idiot not to get it and it makes no sense for me to say no. He was getting really rude and huffy that I said no. He got even worse when I didn't want to buy their cover or a case. He said unless I bought this software it wasn't safe to go on the Internet, liar.

Then when it came to pay I asked for the 20 voucher off,he said it didn't exist even though it is all over their shop with posters and applies to tablets only and he is supposedly the tablet expert. Took 4 members of staff for me to actually get the voucher applied. He was rude and nasty throughout.

I'm annoyed with myself for actually buying it after he was such a jerk. As I walked out I hit the unhappy buzzer several times.

Oops, I'm being told by another article that it isn't onky jailbroken phones. The App Store in question isn't for iOS devices. They mean a regular website for desktop computers.

I went to currys for a new laptop. I said I had was a bit dumb to computers and I wanted one that does X, Y and Z. I never specified a price range so the guy took me to the cheapest laptop.! He then was reluctant to show me others because 'they will cost you a bit more' with a lot of inhaling through teeth and lots of looking me up and down. I assumed from this he though I could not afford more than the bog standard one. I then played him at his own game. I asked for more and more expensive ones and each time he inhaled lots and looked worried for me. Then I finally asked about the apple macs and he said 'it wouldn't be a good idea based on their price' in other words - you can't afford it! I then said I was looking for the right machine regardless of price and could afford it. His face dropped and asked why I had not mentioned this in the first place (basically he was pissed he had tried to sell me a cheap laptop when he could've gone for the kill straight away)! I then made him go through the whole spec of each apple product before telling him I really liked the macbook pro but was not sure I wanted to buy it now.....I was damned if he was getting my commission! ha! I walked away empty handed with a very big smirk!

Gosh, sounds ever such an exciting way to waste an afternoon...

Yeah it was...much more interesting than trying to be an ass on mumsnet!

Don't worry, you have that covered too

We obviously have lots in common then! Nice to meet you!

Oh no, we don't. Only one "ass" and afternoon waster here and it ain't meeeee.

Ha ha ha ha!
