Why, I hear your ask...because they really haven't a clue about anything they sell other than what's on that wee card sitting in front of the product.
Case in point, today I was shopping around for a new flat screen TV and being the expert haggler decided to nip into the above mention den of ignorance to negotiate a deal.
The ensuing conversation twixt the salesperson and I went something along the lines of......
Me, "Hi, I'm looking for a 26 inch flat screen TV for my bedroom, what deals can you give me"
Salesperson "Well, we have this 32 inch model for £599"
Me, "Ah..., that would be excellent if it were 6 inches smaller"
Salesperson "So you're looking for a 20 inch model?"
At that point I decided, before he pointed me in the direction of a Dyson, to take my leave.
