Maplin Rant

[Peoplesoft bloke]

It's like I imagine the State run shops in the Eastern Bloc were - but with items in stock. Everyone is far too busy without pesky customers coming in trying to buy stuff. Or maybe it's because I'm in the South.

I didn't realise they had Maplin in the south.

[DimPrawn]

It's like a sex shop for geeks.

Somehow "Hello Campers" comes to mind. But I could be thinking of something else.

Hidi-Hi!!!

Maplins is a decent store, just the staff are fairly crap.

i.e. not decent then - I want the whole package - as in someone available to sell me something in under 4 hours and without having to visit 65 different counters on 7 floors to get my paperwork stamped.

Their delivery service is pretty good - I've used that before - saves having to deal with the numpties in store.

All well and good but I tend to be away from home a lot - although I suppose I did get my new phone delivered to my hotel.

I wish they would make an effort if they are going to bother having shops at all - I really don't like having to go to Dixons instead - they really are scum.
