You wanna work in customer service? You kiss redneck, yobbo or anyone else’s arse who walks into your store.

I shopped at MSY for the prices. I was my own customer service.

lolfacts:
Sounds like you hate yourself a lot for shopping at MSY..

I worked at the Mitcham MSY for a few months

Ah cool, so that’s where it was coming from. Knew it definitely wasn’t neutral!

When I worked there, yobbos like yourself

‘waaaah I had to do my job’

Poor you.

Again, if you actually read the article (and understood it) you’d see that we’re complaining about the same people.

I worked at the Mitcham MSY for a few months. The amount of disgruntled yobnecks was sickening. For one to type up a spiel about how trash you all are making the rest of white people in general look is just disgraceful.

When I worked there, yobbos like yourself would usually approach me, as opposed to my 2 asian co workers, despite all of us knowing approximately the same. It made for a horrible work environment. Again, because of our trueblue rednecks.

Your entire post was about my asian ancestry. Care to have another go?

Considering you had a go at ‘yobbo rednecks’, I’m going to assume this is just some Asian teenager with a disilluiosned sense of national pride.

…despite the fact he or she was born here and is about as Asian as dim sims.

It was humorous until I remembered the immense amount of whitetrash yobbo redneck garbage that take advantage of lower prices while simultaneously complaining about the lack of service.

Want service? Go to Harvey Norman.
Want good prices? Go to MSY/CPL/CentreCom/etc.
Want Both? Open your own store, and we’ll all shop there.

you could have given people honest advice about researching their products and making choices on hardware that they wont regret.

In an article titled ‘Newbie Guide: How to shop at MSY Australia’, why the hell would I be giving out general advice on how to research products?

Dissapointment must follow you around a lot in your life.

If you can’t punch in a model number into Google it’s time to stop the merry-go-round and get off.

“Prices set by the Chinese government” What garbage you speak man, why dont you try to explain to people about how msy is an importer and how the actual market supply chain works, and whether or not one should go to msy.

I hope your eyes turn to sand and fall out of your head, this is utter nonsense.

Download the PDF, do some product reviews and off I went.

Simple and easy…

Fer fuck’s sake, this mob are supposed to be IT experts, and they still flog their stuff via a web page designed by a red/blue colourblind 14-year-old scriptkiddie in 1986. Does that promote any particular confidence in their prospective customers? Nope.

And interestingly, if like me, you have the (admittedly extensive) patience to do your on-line parts research, you’ll often find MSY are no cheaper than their competitors, and even in some cases not even as cheap.

MSY simply perpetuate this myth through forums such as Whirlpool—which is notorious for its various fanboy bases.

Shop elsewhere and save your time, and your elevated blood pressure.

Seriously… Umart? Ew.

I’d love to see a store with a proper VIP queue. Ordering online gives you your order number and a randomly generated PIN. You use the PIN to open a door and at the same time it tells the people at the counter you’re here for your order so one of them can go get it while the other deals with the current customer. Then all you have to do is walk up and pay.

OMG that sounds like heaven.

Please put this in writing and submit it to MSY the next time you’re there.

Take note Australia, this guy might just be the next marketing genius!

The first time I went after it opened the queue was held up by a woman asking them a million questions about every different printer they had in stock. Then when she FINALLY decided on one she started asking about wireless routers. There were many sighs in the queue, myself included and one or two people walked out.

I could see the guy at the counter become increasingly annoyed at this woman, as was everyone in the queue.

At the time they did have a “VIP” queue if memory serves me correctly (which it often doesn’t) for people who had ordered online but the “what do you know about a modem” types clogged that too. Hey, we’re ALL important, yeah?

Whenever the store isn’t full of browsers the staff are super relaxed and it makes everything so much easier.

The “normal” customers would go into a different part of the store stacked with printers and crappy speakers for the work experience kids to deal with.

You saw a good looking girl working at MSY… what the hell?

The only time I’ve seen females working there they’ve been the wifey types who seem to be doing inventory or checking up on the money. Far, far from hot too.

Was Kasia asian or is MSY South Australia hiring non-asians!?

I think hot may be a subjective term to people who are obsessed with computers. She wasn’t male may have been more fitting.

On the flip side of this spare a thought for people who know what they need in a hardware store and some 35 year old pimply geek, built like my little finger is at the trade counter asking which insulation will block the noise of his masterbation from his mum.

I hope I get to build houses for people who shop at MSY youll get what your given and if you have the hide to question why I have done something the way I have the reply wont be pleasant, but hey I’ll throw in a free toilet.

Allowing yourself to be degraded to save a few bucks, boys if you cant respect yourselves no women ever will.

Although I have a serious issue with the stereotype that is thrown around so lightly, Gamers are not Nerds, a Gamer is a Geek. Nerds study, Geeks game – there is a massive difference. There are instances where some unfortunate cross breeding of the species has occurred, these mutant-like creations are always torn between the two worlds.

Geeks are not limited to Games either, I equate geeks to hobbyists, if you’ve ever been into a hobby shop you will have noticed the similarities.

I’m pretty sure they open late as the two guys that work there (that I’ve seen) are in a constant state of All-night-LAN-party-sleep-deprivation, evidenced by the giant bag of Hungry Jacks on the counter that gets constant attention throughout the day.

Could you possible be there this morning for the Samsung 24″ for $160???

Sign on door says open from 10.30am. I arrived at 10.25am so I thought I’d wait. I’m baby sitting today (ok, my bad… stupid of me to think that I could just quickly come in and buy a hard drive).

At 10.55am the store still wasnt open so I left. So did 3 or 4 other people who came and went in that time. How are these idiots still in business, and why doesnt a competitor open right next door and offer the same prices at even a reasonable service level. They’d make a killing!

For god’s sake, opening the store according to the sign on the door isnt hard!

What about the mono-brow types that go there ? Are they classified under B/O or nerd ? If they are “nerd”, are they full nerd or a sub-species ?

Given that the most likely reason they have a monobrow is because they’re too busy watching Star Trek or playing online – I’d say yeah they qualify as nerds.

The B/O stuff – an experiment.

Careful you don’t use linx then… you might actually attract a few of them otherwise.
