I went to go buy a new tv yesterday and unfortunately ended up at Game, however they did have the tv I wanted........
I walked in and got starting looking at the telly's when I got approached by the salesman.
Told him which tv I'm after and he directed me to a display, which funnily enough was the tv I wanted. (I did a bit of research before hand and knew what model I wanted)
Ahhh wait, this is on special now, R2000.00 off.
"Brilliant, I'll have one of those and a wall mount please!"
"Okay, can I have your tv license please"
"Sure, here it is"
"Ummm this is not in your name"
Yep, the license is in the missus's name...
PROBLEM
I need my wifes ID proof AND the tv license. :y14:
Spend the next hour at least trying to get a fax from my missus.
No go, I mean who uses faxes anymore.
Eventually the salesman says they will take and emailed copy. !!!???!!!:y14:
Okay, another 15 minute wait for him to run upstairs and fetch it. Then another customer corners him.... Aargh.
Okay, all good, I have all the documents - now I can go and pay,...
So off I trundle, the guy in front of me is having problems with his card.... Sigh.:y8:
Okay, my turn, I pay, then get sent off to another counter....
Eventually get my license slip signed off and I get another slip to go and get my tv.
Back to the salesman, now he's been cornered by yet more customers. :y8:
A little while later.. My turn!!!
"Okay, your tv's over there, but just hold I'm going to give you something", and he runs off. Again.
Pull out my phone and start browsing youtube... Bored now.
I thought, okay looks like I'm getting a voucher for all the hassles....
Salesman arrives again, in the middle of the new flexible nokia video I'm drooling over.
Here you go..
HE HANDS ME A SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB!!!!!!
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooookay, alright then. If you insist.
lol
So I went to buy my tv, I saved R2000 and got a tablet for nothing.
F$ck me.
Oh, I can control my tv with the tablet too. lol Bwahahahahahaha
I got everything on this tv, internet, media centre, DLNA
Now the missus can do her facebook on the tv and I can watch dodgy video's on youtube and plan breakfast runs with google maps.
I never blew my top in the store. I did have to go outside and have a smoke though.
Guess karma's paid me back some.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
