Right as rainy

They’re a funny bunch over there at Hi-Fi Corporation. I walked in there today to get an air cooler – in this heat you need at least something to create the illusion of fresh air. They had two models on display which suited my budget – and noone in sight to help me with them. 5 minutes later someone showed up, clearly desinterested, just to tell me that they had no stock of the model I wanted, only the one on display – and no box either. How that person knew all that without even checking the system, I am quite surprised. But she was clearly not interested in being even slightly helpful.

Oh, and on a sidenote: maybe I am being presumptious – but if I find stuff in a bargain bin, packages dented and clearly put there to attract attention – I also expect it to be somewhat marked down. That wasn’t the case with both an XBox Wireless Gaming Receiver and a battery pack, both clearly having been on the shelf for quite some time, but the system spat out the regular prices for both. Sorry guys, no sale.
