Why do I do it to myself? I was driving back from Maynooth and I needed something for the computer and thought I would make my life easy by stopping at PC World in Liffey Valley. Make my life easier – not what happened.
I have known for some time that the service in this shop is crap and therefore I drive a bit further usually and get what I need from PC World in Carrickmines – where the service is amazingly great.
I was only looking for some toner and a cable conversation.
“Hi, can you tell…”
“Sorry too busy just now” – he walks away.
Fuck – am I some sort of invisible person.
So I try again by asking at the customer service, man imagine putting those two words together when talking about this PC World.
“Hi, can you tell me…”
“Sorry, you will have to get one of the guys on the floor”
“But it says customer service here” – he just laughs, chuckles like I have not yet been switched on.
“Any ideas if I just tell you what I am looking for?”
“Sorry mate.”
Two minutes later I am back in the car wondering why I thought this was a good idea.

They need to hire qualified computer technicians like me to serve customers, employing some dumb ass who doesn’t know or care about computers etc is doing their business real harm.
I agree with their crap service, why is it that anyone working in Liffy Vally – not just at PC world I may add – is allergic to answering a phone and is pathologically ignorant and superior? I do find the best way to deal with these morons is to immediately insist on speaking to a manager, then if and when one bothers to show their face, get their name then ask for the phone number of their area manager. Tends to get their attention as they dont want to chance a bad write-up
The only thing worse than an English condecending accent is a recorded English condesending accent. Your 1890700001 number is so frustrating and totally useless. After pandering to this machine for 10 minutes it cannot destinguish between yes and no then I am switched to a service number to which there is no reply. Needless to say I took my order to your opposition. Surely even a monkey would recognise this automated system is false economy.

Bought a Toshiba lap top from PC World Liffey Valley in April 2008. December charger cable broke. Went back to Liffey valley stores on 11 th Dec to have it replaced under guarantee and considering fault was obvious I considered it would be straightforward transaction and within an hour my lap top would be up and going again and I could complete some very urgent work. NO Way, the very clever people there insisted it first be checked by their technical people, sent then to some place in walkinstown and in a few weeks my replacement would be posted out to my address. Cut a long story short when I in total frustration and wishing to keep deadleines enquited if I could purchase a rfteplacement there and then and have a refund when they had scientifically proven that a broken cable was incapable of charging batteries (no it was agreed by PCW this was not damaged but was indeed a faulty lead) I was told they did nt stock Toshiba chargers but could sell me a Universal unit. Moral of tale, as long as we accept this type of treatment, establishments like PCW will continue to exist
