- Escom Oh So Helpful....
-
- By Sigma Alpha
-
- After passing my local Escom's I noticed that they had Amiga's for sale
- at long last hurray! However There seemed to be none setup for people to
- use. On closer inspection I saw them in a heap, in the middle of the
- floor. Above them was a sign with the price, I could not believe what I
- was seeing. Just how would people who are looking for computers be able
- to see and test the Amiga.
-
- I wondered just how helpful the staff would be if I wanted to have a look
- so I went in and talked to one of the staff. I asked him if this Amiga
- was any good, he said that it seemed to be popular it was the third
- delivery of them this week. I then asked him if I could have a look, he
- then said that he would and began to unpack one of the boxes from the
- floor. Once he had it unpacked it he noticed that he could not connect
- one of the pc monitors to it. He said He could not demonstrate it due to
- this little problem. I then noticed a tv in their office and I told him
- about the modulator connector, he then went into the office an unplugged
- his tv and plugged it into the Amiga. For the next 20 odd minutes I
- played around with workbench, whilst the staff which consisted of one was
- getting increasingly annoyed. I now turned around to the staff member
- asking why the computer was not out on display and he said that there was
- not enough room to have one on display. Like we buy that excuse..
-
- I said I was going to think about buying the Amiga and that I may be back
- later. About 2 hours later I returned and the same gezzer was on the
- desk, he saw me and gave a little smile (Thinking I've got a sale with
- this smuck here). I went up to the desk, noticeing the Amiga had
- returned to floor and asked if I could have ANOTHER look. Well the look
- I got from this bloke would have made milk go off. He went back to the
- office and got the tv and re-connected the Amiga. After 10 minutes I had
- really did start to feel sorry for this bloke who must have been so
- pissed off after his entire morning had been wasted. So I thought it was
- time to put him out of his misery and said I'm sorry I need a built in
- harddrive sorry but this is not quite what I want. Bye.......
-
- After moving out of the shop rapidly in fear of my life, I observed him
- kicking an unfortunate pc tower that was underneath the desk OUCH! well
- just as well it was not an Amiga down there.
