Seeing red!

Was in the big smoke and called into Halfords looking for advice re satnavs! Wasted my time as the huge store was like the Mary Celeste.....deserted!. 2 guys on the till directing folks here and there but no one on the shop floor!. When i finally managed to get the hapless assistant ( oxymoron name-assistant!) all he could say was read the info label. I could have done that without his great wisdom
No wonder folks shop online at least you can read other people's reviews and make your own mind up and all without raising your hackles and blood pressure. I may do the rest of my Crimbo shop on line and buy the little stuff locally.
