Default [BBC}Gadget shoppers branded 'stupid'

Staff at shops owned by the Dixons Stores Group have been caught insulting customers on a social networking site.

An unofficial group, set up on Facebook for staff of DSG, featured comments from existing and former staff of the electronics retailer.

The comments branded customers "stupid" and recounted unflattering shop floor conversations with them.

DSG said it was "disappointed" that the comments had been left and said it would be investigating.

The Facebook group called "DSGi Employees" says it is one for "people who work/have worked for the same company". The Facebook group has about 3,000 members.

Trust me... there are a LOT of stupid people everywhere. Encountering them at work deserves some venting.

Protip: People are stupid. Fact.

And as someone who lives in the UK, anyone who goes to Dixon's for electronics probably is.

I was about to come post the exact same thing. If you're buying stuff from Curry, Dixons, Comet or PC World, you deserve to be ripped off.

The Internet. Seriously.

Ebuyer or Scan. High street shops will rip you off (also avoid Overclockers.co.uk, terrible customer service).

These shops can actually be quite good sometimes.

I know my brother got a cracking deal on his 32" TV from Comet. Most of the time they can be expensive, but if you want it now then they're not that bad

Those two are great, but I disgree with OCuK having bad customer service. I've always had great experiences with them.
