Other thing is how so much packaged stuff has been opened and bits

desperate for one there and then.

Going back a few years I bought a cat flap from B&Q. Got it home,
opened the box and half of it was missing :-( Took it back and got it
replaced.

Wandering round B&Q a few weeks later and was just passing the cat
flaps - one looked familiar - opened the box - it was the one I'd
returned with half of it missing !! They'd just put it back on the
shelf :-( I pointed it out but nobody seemed interested ...

Happened to me three times with Wickes sinks - missing the fixing brackets &
seal. They suggested I take a pack put of another sink & left it on the
shelf. As you say, nobody was interested.

Last week in Wickes I wanted 2 toilet seats. Three on the shelf, one
obviously opened & was missing the fixings. Took all three to the checkout,
bought two & reported the other one. Bet I find it on the shelf next week.
