Man o man, have i got a gripe with Canadian retailers, namely Sears, HBC and fucking Zellers. First of all let me preface this rant with a note, i dont buy anything except fresh fruit, milk and bread in Canada if possible. This week I was stuck, needing one last gift, no problem, they have stores here right? I knew exactly what I wanted, I knew the brand, I knew the model number...i thought, cool, I'll just ring around and find out where they have one and pick it up.
2.5 hours later, after ringing sears in 3 locations, HBC in 4 locations, and zellers, (the crappiest department store IN THE WORLD) not one of these morons has any available stock!!!! And no this item was not the latest greatest everyone wants one, it was an items that has been around for more than 2 years.
The problem with Canadian retail goes well beyond price... it goes to quality of serivce, range of goods and AVAILABILITY of goods.
