Damnit, that would've been cool for the pick ups, though I doubt they could have kept the online prices :)

With the amount of stuff they have in their virtual stores, can you imagine it in the high street?

Argos is bad enough, although if you went along the lines of select and pay online, then pick-up locally I could see it just about working.

Then again, it's just that much more convenient to have it delivered to your door, isn't it?

Not when you work somewhere else, no.

Good point.

In which case, we can solve two problems at once. Employ staff so there's always someone at home, simultaneously taking people off the dole.
