I wasnt sure whether to choose PC World or Currys at Liffey Valley when I went to buy a replacement charger for my laptop. Both are part of the same group yet maintain seperate stores next door to each other.
I chose PC World and as soon as I stepped inside the door I was met by a line of 3 retail associates. I wondered if there was some sort of instore promotion and whether one of them would pounce upon me congratulating their one millionth customer and filling my arms with free goodies but soon realised they were probably just bored and amusing themselves with a game of 'catch the customer'. So when the guy who 'caught' me asked if he could be of any assistance I replied that Id come to buy a laptop charger. He looked at me squarely without moving to let me past and replied. Yes, we stock them, they cost 89.95! What??? I could nearly buy a new laptop for THAT! Im not paying 90 euro for a charger!!! He shrugged and I charged (no pun..) out the door.
Theres a happy ending to my story though. Inspiration sent me to Power City on my way home and they kitted me out with a universal charger thing that worked perfectly and only cost 30 quid.
As for PC World, if they dont want customers why dont they just lock the doors.
