Argos

Quick service. You don’t have to go through the whole store to get your stuff. I like the self service concept.
But was a little dissatisfied as i should use my foreign pay card a second time to pay 0,05p for a bag for my stuff that costs app £250. The cashier should have asked me if I want a bag from the start, and not wait till the payment is done and then charged for the bag. Especially when youre using a foreign card.
Its not really about the money but the service. Anyway it’s recommended.

Your first thought is «why bother reviewing an Argos» well for me it does have an additional advantage over other local to Islington/​Camden and that is you can drive round the back into the loading bay and pickup very large items. This is great as most locally you can park anywhere near for things like TVs

Umm i’m not exactly sure why or when my obsession with Argos started, except that it’s been a while and it shows absolutely no sign of abating…
It’s my guilty pleasure to nip in on the way home or on a Saturday (on the way to/​from my beloved Waitrose) and i can spend hours flicking through their laminated pages filled with wondrous bits and bobs.
I even got a card. Yup. Allowing me to invest in that mahoosive telly/​wii/​kitchen diner set /​bed /​tent /​ring (no, Elizabeth Duke might be that step too far!) in one of their end of catalogue sales and pay bit by bit… amazing or what?
And if that weren’t enough reason, their Simple Human dustbins and kitchen gadgets & whatnots are about half the price they are in Habitat!
AND the staff are friendly, chatty and helpful beyond the call of duty: one such lovely chap going so far as to carry my goods out of the shop, flag me a taxi and bundle me in, all with a cheeky chappy smile.
Oh and if you do happen to phone up and mention a staff member being particularly lovely to customer services (as i did) apparently they get a half day holiday as a reward! What a great company — no wonder they’re so chirpy.
OH oh AND if you have to take anything back, they just swap or refund absolutely no quibble. amazing eh?!
If only everything in life were as simple as Argos.
