The only thing that fails here, is going to wal mart for a soldering iron..I mean, I wouldn't go to sainsburys for one.
the wal mart here dont carry them ,and even the local radio shacks only have the 15-30 watt ones and dont even carry flux,now that was an epic fail the day i asked for flux at radio shack and the clerk had no idea what i was speaking of,and when i asked for smd's and they didnt know what they were i lost all respect for the shack,i figured between the 3 employees they had one of them would have the most basic of knowledge of electronics
zomg, i hate that! this spanish lady (spanish as in "qhetto") was a radio shack behin d the desk, and i asked for flux. she went swear she did - "well f*ck you too!! get the f*ck outa my radio shack! right when she said this, some guy maybe a manager, called her into the room. after she went in the room, i started laughing my ass off, and i heard the b1tch yelling. it was the funnist ever.but yeah, walmart doesnt carry any good
dont you mean asda wallmart
?Is there something wrong with you?
For me to buy any and I mean ANY electronics supplies it's a 42 mile bus drive,from the bus stop (10 euro's bus fare) it's a mile to the shopping center/mall (for the yanks).Then another half mile to maplins,you go into maplins and literally and I mean 100% LITERALLY every single employee their is foreign.I wouldn't mind them being foreign if they actually spoke half decent english!!It's not like I have a strong accent or use too much slang or don't pronounce my syllables,but this is just disgraceful.Thanks to the unhelfulness of the foreign employees (mostly lithuanian),I have to go over to the stand with the maplins catalog on it,I have to spend hours looking at it finding/not finding what I want because I'm not paying 7 euro to buy a catalog,yes,BUY a CATALOG,bring it home and premeditate what I'm going to buy on my next trip.And don't get me started on the range (or lack thereof),the prices,or the customer service rep's for maplins online purchases or the whole place will go up like hiroshima.
Order things off the Internet?
it would be nicer if we could get stuff cheaper, like pay less that 2.99 for 5 0603 leds on llama, and not have to wait 2 days - 2 weeks (dealextreme) to get parts
