"Thank goodness for PC World staff"

What a bunch of useless expletives.

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.

what to you have to do to a Carp to adequately hone it?

.. and for what purpose?
the answer to this and many more important issues, NEXT!! on a very special Trisha (not that ALL trisha guests aren't "special" in some way)

Meh, it's even worse when you get 50 cold-callers a day who all work for companies in their Indian Call-Centres. The could be trying to sell me the best product in the world but their lack of understanding of the English language means I really don't have a clue what they're on about.

I hate it when that happens, cos I don't want to be rude and say "what" 50 times, so I just struggle through, guessing answers and nodding or shaking my head.

I fear that I'll be seen as that fat-fighters woman from Little Britain...

I went to PC world to get my computer and the guy who served us was the friendliest man in the world.

He just had a strong indian accent and I really couldn't tell what he was saying or asking me.

I know, I know, but I decided to take the more light hearted view.

Or just a retard for a mother.

I couldn't get a part-time job in PC World yet I knew far more than every other retard in there.

In all fairness it must be hard for PC world to hire their staff, as they seem to have two choices:-

1) Hire gimpy bloke with little to no customers services skills, but thorough product knowledge and attempt to teach them good customer service skills

or

2) Hire people with good customer service skills and attempt to teach them about the product.

In spite of option 2 being seemingly easier they usually plump for option 1. Option 1 is made even more difficult by the fact that if these guys technically knowledge was actually any good they'd be working a nice office-based IT job and wouldn't touch a shop job with a barge-pole.

you should do that now anyway, just to make a point about giving better customer service.

PC World seem to have an amusing policy about only hiring gibbons.
