Default Halfords - staff for hire ?

Went in yesterday waving a broken bonnet switch (alarm), and asked the nearest gel-head, "Do you have a switch like this ?".

"What is it ?", he says, "Alarm switch", says I.

"Nah ! Don't stock anything like that." he continues.....

So I walk across to the "boom box" section, cables, etc, and guess what, two in a "bubble pack", 50p.

It's not rocket science FFS !

Most of 'em are kids from 6th form working for a bit of pin money. Give 'em a break.

If you ask an older one, the store manager etc, THEY are likely to know.

Having said that, kid should have said, "I'm not sure, let me find out for you. What did you say it was again? May I borrow that?"

My youngest worked at Wickes for three years before going to uni, so I know the form

"Sonic" the gel-head is typical of the standards they find acceptable....

L.O.L.
