HMV = Stupid

ic14 · 22-11-2003, 15:58

Damn useless cashers in HMV, I just bought Kikis delivery service today and when i got home to watch it i found that they had left a stupid security seal in.

It was like a small red plug at the side of the dvd case stopping me from opening it up.

Any ideas what i should do? Will any other HMV open it for me?

did they defo not take it off? occasionally i have thought that they hadn't taken it off, because the sticky thingy was still on the side but it was off...did the alarms go off as u went out of the shop?

ok

ignore what i said before......

and grrr that website killed my graphic card....really need to sort it out

Bex · 22-11-2003, 16:51

ok i would advise you to go in and get it de-tagged and i would complain as well....never know they might give you vouchers or something :p
edit: dont forget to take your receipt

Paul K · 22-11-2003, 16:53

Yep take it back with your receipt, if you look here

its an integrated system and you will have to destroy the case and probably the DVD to get it open.

aliferste · 23-11-2003, 00:02

I would demand some cash or vouchers as well.....

ic14 · 23-11-2003, 12:07

Just have to wait till tomorrow to do this, hope they give me some vouchers.

say it was a present for someone and now you look like an idiot!!!! Rub it in thick!!

In Top Shop if they forget to take the tag off you get 15 quid if the alarm goes off when you walk out the door

at least they did when my friend worked there!
