Comet

guy at works Mrs is going with the expectation of a cheap washing machine. will report back later on the progress. i dont have one local and am work.. plus i am skint this month and dont need any new gadgets!
 
Just driven past our local Comet and there are a lot of people and cars there. I didn't bother to try and park as their parking area is not very big and I couldn't be doing with the hassel
 
Just back from my local Comet and was distinctly underwhelmed. About 100 folk in the shop and only half a dozen or so staff serving.
 
One of my staff just back from a quick look round says that the discount is 10% and there are no real super deals to tempt

Is there surprise though really? Anything decent (apple, new TV's etc), they will be able to send back to manufacturer, anything more than 10% is going to be roughly at cost and they will probably get a better deal flogging whats left to DSG group. Anyone expecting Plasma TV's for £50 will be disappointed!

Pat on the back to the staff though in all honesty, a lot of them may have worked there for years and they will have seen the decline. for them to continue is a credit to them and i am glad i saw that DSG group are going to try and employ as many as possible for at least the Xmas period. good on them.
 
Whilst I really do feel for the staff, my past experiences of comet are of buying 3 items and having to send all 3 back as faulty, getting a
refund and buying elsewhere.
Was almost tempted by the sale but if it turns out to be useless c##p again, it won't be a bargain!

Whilst I feel very sorry that a lot of them will lose their jobs, my past experiences with Comet staff lead me to believe that quite a few of them have been instrumental in the decline.
