Agreed. It's got to the point now where I hate dealing with shops / sales people and try to avoid them if possible.
If I can buy the same thing online, then that's what I'll do.
It's a shame. Years ago it used to be a day out with the family walking around the shops, having lunch, and maybe going to the cinemas. The whole experience is now ruined by sales assistants that think that their shit don't stink and have an over-inflated opinion about themselves and what they do *points finger at Big W Rouse Hill*
The more I type about this, the more I'm getting worked up so I just think I'll leave it there.
