Hi Vikki,
At the risk of making that the fastest growing group on Yahoo, I've
heard that these stores specifically select junior sales staff on
having pretty minimal expertise in electronics. Just enough to sell
stuff if the customer picks it off the shelf. If they know too much
then they get tied up in detailed free advice sessions at the
counter. That eats up man-hours as well as creating liability issues.
For what it's worth Ian, Jaycar here in the east are a bit better
than that. Now Dick Smith is another matter...
