I went to buy a computer chair and firewall thingy.
There were no trolleys so I asked if there were any
" Dunno, could be "
" Over there somewhere "
Etc etc
Fat men talking to each other and when I ask for help they look at me as if I'd just raped their mother.

A more accurate PC World conversation would be:
ME: Excuse me can you tell me where to find *Insert name here*?
THEM: ...Yes... just a minute. *Disappears*
"Can you tell me why this canon scanner costs more in the store then on the internet?"
"We're a completely differant store then on the internet.."
"But you have the same name?"
"Yes, we're a differant store"
"Cant you match the price?"
"no"
"why?"
"Because we dont do that... I'll get someone else"
*He goes to get some fatter guy*
"How can i help?"
*I have to explain it all over again*
"We're a differant store sir"
*ARGH*
"I'll go buy it off the internet"
"Fine sir"
God damn it. True story. How silly is that.
Yet you could easily stick the shop model laptop in your car and drive off before they've climbed off of their chairs.
The staff in PC world are amusing.
Question:
"What do I need to be able to connect 2 PCs and an Xbox to a broadband connection? I currently have a USB broadband modem."
Staffie 1
"It's impossible."
Staffie 2
"It'll cost around £300"
I was rather amused by their lack of knowledge.
In the end I asked my brother's mate who is a PC. He knew exactly what I needed and it didn't even cost half of what 'staffie 2' said it would.

Or get my dad, who swears at them and tells them to pass off because we're eating our dinner and we've got everything we need.
