Random Irritations

[ColchesterFC]

Why do shops display items that you can't buy? Today's irritation is Currys PC World. Went in at lunchtime to buy a new TV. Found one I liked and told the salesman that I'd take it. He looked on his IPad and then on his till and said, "we're waiting for stock from the manufacturer for that model. It should be available on 6th November. If you pay now we can reserve one for you". Why display a TV that I can't actually buy for over 3 weeks?

They've been doing it with sofas, furniture and carpets forever. They will even custom build your new TV for you (if you get fitted for it)

Lloyds pharmacy

Stopped using them Few years back and switched to online

Every now and then if my online people can't get the meds I get a code for any pharmacy to give me my meds

Unfortunately the meds are out of stock there aswell they can get my original meds (same medication different brand) but Lloyds refuse to give to me as that's nots what's on the prescription ... Yet if they got it direct themselves they would happily do it

Only went their as it's the best chemist for a pram

Remember why I stopped using the unhelpful lot now

Will go the other chemist later

You’d love it here, there’s quite a broad scope for what’s available without prescription & most places will even split a blister pack if you just need a couple pills


edit; maybe not, we don't have that many pavements for the pram

AI Chatbots...helpful I guess - however often irritating...My bank on-line chat is an AI Chatbot (like Amazon Lex). They are given a human name...(NatWest have called theirs Cora ) and learn the responses that answer customer questions; when you ask the same or a similar question you get pushed these plus links to related documents. If you reject what the Chatbot is telling you you'll get through to a human agent, and once the agent answers your question the agent tags the successful response and a precis of the question. All responses so tagged are reviewed by back-end analysts who build useful Q&As into the AI Chabot database.

I've got a spare office chair in my loft here in Lincolnshire you're welcome to.
Mind you, you'll have to collect it yourself but it's free.
Glad to be of help....

Well well went the other chemist today he did it no problem I asked him what the deal was because of Lloyds stance

He said it costs £10 a time because the other one is more expensive than this ..but they still do it!

Well appreciate the honesty (wouldn't have told me was just giving me the tablets)

I'll just speak to Dr see if he will give me a slip with both meds on so if problems with one I'll get the other .. save them money

So much better when companies are just honest then you can be like yeah that makes sense no problem

They are MyHerpes because they are about as much use as an STD.

I won't give up hope just yet Phil, had it before that it turns up about a week late but if there's a worse courier in the country I can't think who it is.
