I needed to find a long bolt to take a wing-nut for a piece of equipment as
the tread has stripped.
Knew Screwfix would have one, but received no help whatsoever from the
staff. I was told to look in the catalogue. I knew neither the thread or
whether it would take a wing-nut.
I left and went to local DIY shop (Maxwells)
Heaps of bolts of all sizes in fixtures for me to try.
Bought several for 10p each.

Think about all the others in the queue you would keep waiting and annoy. I
had to stand in screwfix as some old woman was moaning about a wall light
and didn't have enough to pay - or didn't want to pay. She was told to pick
an alternative and wasted a lot of time having each product described and
shown to her - then left without buying anything.
The bolt sizes are in the catalogue AND on their WEBSITE! So you had no
excuse for not looking before you went.
I hate helpless people that expect everyone else to do everything for them.
I will never help anyone like that.
Why are so many people completely helpless now anyway? They seem unable to
know how to obtain phone numbers, addresses, company details, product
details and reviews etc. Most shouldn't be allowed out. I was even asked
for directions by some idiot that had a satnav stuck on his front window.
