And then just stick a bit of sellotape on the open box and put it back

bring it back, it's not "British" to complain after all.

I've had similar, obvious customer returns sold as new stock, from DSG
Retail Limited companies (Dixons, Currys, PC World, The Link, PartMaster,
Microwarehouse and probably others). I didn't think that Argos stooped
that low, I shall now check everything in store if the makers seals look
disturbed.

I think it really does depend on how well the individual store is
managed. This is usually the case with any store - the customer
experience can be vastly different depending on the overall management.

The Argos that Dave uses (Chatham High Street?) may just need a better
manager.
