To be honest I don't know what possessed me to even bother going to Currys PC World today. Without fail every time I go I come away empty handed and disappointed. On this occasion I was looking for a very basic cable, the USB type-A to Micro USB type-B. This cable is the stock one for nearly all external hard drives.

After locating the row labelled PC cables and searching for myself I decided to attempt to answer a member of staff. This was of course a mistake as it seems the employees of PC World is to avoid customers, or even making eye contact at any cost. After about 15 minutes of wandering the store trying to engage someone I finally tricked a member of staff into looking at me, and then begrudgingly coming over. This was a shock to me as the colleague was not wearing a uniform but appeared to be in a track suit.

It was at this point I was informed the PC hardware retailer did not stock this basic cable, so I left 20 minutes after arriving empty handed and endlessly frustrated that it took me the better part of half an hour to get someone to come talk to me.

I can only assume it is Currys PC World's corporate policy to keep people in the store as long as possible to give the illusion of a bustling place of trade, by leaving them alone for as long as humanly possible.
