I had a similar thing when buying a TV a few years ago. Had 1k burning a hole in my pocket for a new TV and the assistant was putting 2 TVs that were at opposite sides of showroom together so I could compare the quality side by side. Manager came and said he couldn't do that for customers. I said to the manager have a look round the shop and see how many customers they had in, it was empty. Then I said to the guy who was serving me, when the manager asks you why you haven't hit your targets this month you can pinpoint this as a missed sale. He was gutted. I went elsewhere, an independent retailer who went out of his way. Ended up with TV and stand I wanted with £300 off it.

You cannot beat customer service, Went back there to buy a home cinema system and spent another £750
 
£10.95 is a very good price. That probably was trade!! I pay £18 !!!!!!!

I bought something in a charity shop just before Xmas. £2.95. I said put the change in the box (5p). She asked me if I wanted a bag, I said yes please. 5p she said. I said excuse me. We charge 5p for our bags she said. I looked at my 5p in the plastic charity box, and said 'No, it's ok I wont have a bag.
 
As I originally posted 10-95 was a good price. They advertise tiles at Internet prices, but this is a retail showroom and they obviously have a trade list. If you are paying much more than that for this particular adhesive then you should be ordering Weber - its white and you can use it all, not beige and continually cleaning it out of your bucket.
We also went for a meal and the waiter/owner asked if we were going to add a tip to the debit card payment!
I must have just wanted to get back home.
 
You've got to love topps TJ, I was in there a couple of weeks go passing some time while my van was being MOT'd next door. They had some vitrex mixers on offer and I asked if they came in 110v. "No only 1400 watts" was the reply!!

Thats the place where when I asked for some tiling wedges they said 'what are they?'
