Yes mate I have to agree with the you on J and S in Brum service is non existence.

It doesn't take much to look after your customers. The Hein Gericke in Birmingham was really good for that. All of the staff were chatty, no pressure, keen to help. And it paid off, you always left with something :D J and S on the other hand - I have no idea how they stay in business. I've spent 20 ...

I know what its like working in retail, I was a store manager in Game for 5 years and the lad who served me was young (haha check me out im only 26!) and seemed a bit nervous so hence why I just went with it coz I didnt want to be that customer. But on the flip side after working in Game for so long...

I used to work very high up in a major mobile phone chain for 4 years. The store staff are generally very stupid, commission orientated and there is a relatively high turnover.

I'd buy my phones online. Really I would.

Sorry you've had such a poor experience, but it doesn't surprise me.

I buy a lot of stuff online but in this instance the phone only came out last week so I wanted to just double check I liked the look and feel of it before hand, but oh well back to the dredded hell that is the shopping centre tonight to make my feelings known.

I always buy online, I normally get an email the month before my contract is up for renewal then I log on to my O2 choose the phone and the network I want and bobs your uncle. I do the same thing, been with O2 for donkeys and either upgrade on line or just have a trawl through the shop . I once had...

I really wished I was in the 911 I saw today, they were obviously getting the hump as I was, but with the power they just nipped around it all like I would have on the S1 done in a flash ha ha, but not in my volvo ha ha, :( Or a Porsche Cayman. I don't know ...

Hi I am Frankie... I ride bikes and come on here to have a rant sometimes, Love getting out for ride outs, so if you get out on them you will get to know me a little better too. Oh yeah Just recently got into taking pictures which I really enjoy, a new passion to ...

Spot on StMarks so true...its very very sad. Dave I know, I have cut back on the distances I go now for this reason, back in the day I used to love getting my old mark one escort out or my capri gear ha ha, for a weekend drive to Poole or somewhere. But now I cant stand driving at weekends, BIKE ...

... low speed stupidity. I was doing the first trackday after having a new hip fitted, so decided to drop down to inters for obvious reasons, after getting stopped leaving the track after the first session to be told I was too fast and to move up a group, I was feeling a bit smug. 8) Next session ...

These people are not salesmen or woman they are halfwits..... If I had someone who knew what they wanted I would be very pleased, easiest sale in the business, gives you more time to work on another customer, i.e more sales!!!! OBVIOUSLY. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason.... I get really ...

I'm sorry to say I got very ratty with a lad from Orange, that was trying to sell me deals other than what I wanted, I had done exactly the same as you CT, I'd researched it and I knew exactly what I wanted but he'd obviously got a spiel to go through. He got about 5 words in before I asked him ters...

Gunna be honest as I knew exactly what I wanted and needed I didnt think I'd have a problem but oh well, I think my favorite part was as he was trying to sell me a car charger and just started to trail off as he realised I was in bike leathers and holding a helmet and was like "do you have a ca...

my wife had the same problem. They fecked it up. Then it broke, so she sent it back. It came back repaired but was still broken.

I always buy my phones online. Never had a problem.

My guess would have been Snakebite, a perennial favourite amongst the getting trashed quickly brigade.

Am I the only one who's first thought was that the car park would been full of Transit vans.

So spent my evening in a phone shop as I was due an upgrade, I knew what phone I wanted, I knew on which contract, I even knew what promotions they had goin, should have been the easiest transaction ever. The guy in the shop preceded to try and sell me everything I didn't want along with it and then...

... to Emma. It was love at first sight, for me , she grew on me after around 12 mths. Got 2 kids,16 and 13, live them to bits. Slow to Medium rider, getting into trackdays, live for my holidays with the family, and tour on the bike once a year. Own a blade, fell of twice. I hurt the bike more than ...

... off the charger. It's enough to spin the starter, but now the engine wants to stay asleep despite turning over sluggishly. (facepalm) So much for getting it up and running for tomorrow, looks like we'll be having some quality spanner time instead of enjoying some dry roads. :x

... my leg. Any illusions of coolness where shattered at this point. As you would expect from the Guildford locals I was offered loads of assistance getting myself and the bike back up again.
