Future Shop

We bought a Sharp air Cleaner and a Panasonic Microwave Oven from Future Shop, and overcame our initial instinct to refuse the service contract. These salesmen must make a good commission on the service contracts because they put more effort into selling them than they do to giving you the information on the appliance. Anyhoo, the $30 we paid for the microwave was well worth it because when it broke down 2 years later we hauled it into the store and walked away with a new one.

We had a salesman chase us around the store to tell us firmly that they only accept "electronics" for recycling, but once he figured out (after we repeated ourselves a few times) what we were there for he apologised and the transaction was smooth.
