Originally posted by PAH View PostI was in Staples over the weekend with a friend intended on picking up something for his girlfriend, and we were the only ones in there, apart from about 10 staff.
Turns out they didn't stock the item he was after so he's getting it off the internet, where I would have started anyway. Especially when the internet prices including delivery are still cheaper than these big stores charge (and need to to cover their massive overheads).
I was told it wasn't something they held in store so I ordered one from somewhere else.
To be fair Currys online is often one of the cheapest and you have the added convenience of a physical shop to take your frustration out on if things go wrong. I used the store as a showroom and then ordered online when a bought a tumble dryer a few months back.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
