CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY "PROFESSIONAL" TRADESMEN NEED ADVICE
what on earth are you talking about chris1016, nobody has asked for advice except a diy er who asked for an alternative, read the thread, not the last couple of posts.
Screwfix are a massive company, they sell on promises, and they say if its in the book, its on their shelves, this is a false promise. i have never been up to
screwfix and got everything ive asked for, im not talking about rare stuff. im talking about basic stuff for an electrician/plumber.
i dont expect the staff to be able to converse with a tradesmen, but i do expect them to know what a screw is (see my last post), i also expect them to hand me the stuff i ordered, and not what they think ive ordered.
it proves the staff have had no basic training in any form, except on taking money and a practised blank look.
i will say that i can only talk about my local enfield
screwfix, i am sure there are better run trade counters about. generally i find the service better, the further you get away from city, im not sure but i guess its because people dont flit in and out of these low paid jobs so much. its only an assumption but speak as you find.
i could put up with staff who look like they been let out for the day, but the disappointment of finding things out of stock that you could get in your local woolworths is hard to take, and negates the savings made.
