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....

I was at the back of a bloke who was about to do that...I told him there's
a floor assistant ask her to check the parts...this is a payment checkout
not a item chechout.

And he did.
