Well I have my new washing machine, it's nice, I wont bore you with the details, but what really pissed me off was the attitude of the salesman at Hardly Normal..

I wonder, do I look like a shoplifter, because I no sooner walked in and started looking aat the machines, than the message came over the loudspeaker "Salesman to Washing Machines" and he asked me if i needed help, I told him I was JUST LOOKING for the moment, well he shadowed me all the way around the display, watched me closely as I lifted the lid and examined the innards and dials and stuff.

What did he think I was going to do, hide one under my skirt and walk out with it!!

When I finally found one in my price range, I turned around to get the attention of the salesman and he was RIGHT BEHIND ME!!, I almost tripped over him, when I said that i'd take that one, he looked at me and said, and I quote "We have cheaper ones down the back" I told him I wanted this one, and then he asked me how I wanted to pay for it, when I said Visacard, his eyebrows raised and you could almost hear the cog wheels going.

I'm sure he thought that when he swiped my card that it would be rejected.. and his patronisng tone as well..


Next time I need some whitegoods, I wont be going there again.

aaargghhhhh

YUCK YUCK YUCK - that happens to me all the time too.

Bloody hell, talk about judging the book from the cover..and so on.

You shouldn't have bought from there, but instead has asked to talk to the manager and tell him/her about your experience and why you didn't buy anything. (I know I wouldn't have done that, but still, it's a nice thought, right?!)

If I hadnt needed a washing machine ASAP and had the time and the transport to go looking around, I would have.

I keep on looking on my clothes sure that somewhere on them is a big sign that says "SOLE PARENT ON WELFARE BENEFITS" treat like a 2nd class citizen!
