I have to take an alarm clock back tomorrow. i bought it yesterday but the cable wasnt long enough for it to reach my socket. so i took it into work and opened it up, cut the cable inside and crimped on another one, which is a different size, still black tho. closed it back up but i hadnt cleaned my bench properly so i put a proper fuck off scratch on the front of it. so i took it into the spray shop and we tried to cover it with silver hammerite
Basically now i have to take a clock back saying "it has a scratch on it" when its got a proper gouge, attemped to paint over it, cable is a different thickness and also longer, but i didnt do it! think they'll fall for it?
Yeah, people who work at Argos are generally spackers (no offense if any of you work in Argos).
You could probably put a dead rabbit in the box and say "my clock has a scatch on it" and they would still go through the replacement procudure like a robot...

yes. they are very stupid, but i'm not complaining.
i ordered a bed from them costing £159 including mattress
they delivered me the wrong mattress, but i looked it up in the catalogue and it should have been £250 by itself.

I used to work for Argos. And no, no offense taken you lot! If you took it back within 16 days of purchasing it, you could have put a dead rabbit in the box and got your money back, just so long as the rabbit displayed the time and was of the same or greater value as the one you bought. Thank god for the '16 Day Money-back Guarantee'!
