Default Check the box!

Bloody DIY stores!

Yesterday I had to assemble a desk and fit a blind for a lady (she had
purchased both). By sheer luck I decided to fit the blind first. No
brackets in the box.

I got on with the desk while she drove to B&Q to sort the blind out.

Today I was fitting a kitchen sink that I had bought from Wickes. No
clips, blanking disc or sealing strips in the box.

15 mile round trip, lady without water for 45mins extra, late for second job.

From now on I shall completely unpack anything I buy before I leave the store.


Always....

I ask them to do it at the checkout before paying and check the parts
against the list inside the box.

The cost for you to go away, waste an hour and return is a great deal
more than 2-3minutes of checkout operator time....
