    How could any member of the Dixons workforce call someone else stupid?

    I was once a member of the Dixons workforce

    (It was a long time ago, I was a PC World tech support phone monkey...)

            I experienced more abuse in that 12 months of employment than I have in the rest of my 10+ year IT career. It wasn't very pleasant.

                Well, you should have tried not dishing out dodgy advice...

                  I used to work there, at the head office in Hemel Hempstead. The fact is that most people are stupid, not just Dixons customers, so I don't see that they've done anything wrong. IMHO

                    Yeah I agree. Yes there are stupid employees at DSG but there are even more stupid customers. SOme of the things the customers have said are well funny, and reminds me of every time I go to visit my parents, with their various questions about the PC. My dad still struggles when the mouse reaches the end of the desk but he still has further to go on the screen! He does like a 12-point turn to get the mouse back. And that's after 8 years of having a PC!!! Does it make them stupid? Maybe.
