This is a story which many of us will feel at home with, know incompetent PC technicians.
Anyway it goes back a few years. The situation was this 18 year old chinese guy at my schools graphics card mucked up and so he went a long to the local pc shop and gave it to them to sort out. Anyway the next day he got a phone call saying "sorry to tell you your hard disk is broken" so he immediately went to the the store and demanded they replaced it or sorted it out. But they decided to be awkward and say "sorry mate its not our problem" and picked on him as he was about 5'5. Any way he was seriously annoyed and so stormed straight back to school and went to get help......In the form of a Black, 6 foot 6, rugby number 8, built like a brickshitehouse sixth former. This is no exaggeration at 18 years old he was probably the best built person i've seen and worked weekends as a bouncer! So they went back to this crappy little PC shop and The Big guy went crazy shouting "i hear there is a problem with my computer, sort it out now" these two blokes in the shop nearly crapped themselves and comically just buckled and gave him a better hard disk than he had, and guess whose computer was nicely finished an hour later!
The moral of the story, you need something done at one of those rip off merchants....scare the crap out of them!

I can imagine you at PC World:
A customer walks up tpo the counter.
Turbo: Hello sir. Can you please give me a few details to improve our services? Just tell me nice and slowly and I'll tye it into our records on this computer here . . .
Customer: Okay, sure. 1. Shut the shop. 2. Get some decent employees . . .
Turbo: Hey slow down!
Customer: 3. Get some decent games
Turbo: NOOOOO! Get outta here, you little ******. You've just made me lose against the manager on Duke Nukem!
*one half of the roof of PC World rises*
Turbo: AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!
*the other half of the building rises*
Manager: YEEEEESSSSSSS!

I don't think you need to know much about PCs at PC World unless your running the PC Health Check thing as anyone with a bit of sence will avoid PC World therefore the staff won't be asked questions, they just stand around making the shop look busy.
Also, i don't think it's right to intemidate people into giving you stuff, it's their shop, they can do what they want, nice that you got a good upgrade though.

I'm still trying to get a job in PC World, t'will be the funniest thing ever.
However, I don't think they like applicants that actually know something about computers ;-)

Oi, I start a job in a small local PC repair/sales shop on Saturday, and don't want people like him in on my first day =P Had a few in work experience, bloody terrifying, especially when I'm trying to cover for someone else's mistakes..
Yes, Well said.
