We are pretty busy, and expect to be very busy tomorrow. Not looking forward to it.

Trying to get onto the Currys/PC World website to browse the laptops on the Black Friday deals, had the page "loading" in the background for about 45 minutes, maybe more, at the moment. Says I'm number 55729 in the queue...

I work in the distribution centre. We've been told to stay off the site while at work because of this.

We've had more orders in the 1st hour of today that we would have in the first 6 hours of a normal day.

Sorry.

Apparently the queue can be bypassed if you download & run noscript.

You just described the entire concept of sales right there.

Well no shit but setting up an artificial queue system to access a website is another level above

Cheers Crane. Has anyone made a standard logo pack yet? Not really a fan of edited ones.

The queue was set up after almost all the major retailers bar Amazon's sites went down in order to keep the site running and some sort of order.

The British love a queue you know.

Black Friday is genius in making me seriously spend £300 on a PS4 I don't really need or want that much.

The match engine is a bit iffy but other than that the game is fine and enjoyable.

Caved and paid £300 for a PS4 with Little Big Planet and Last of Us Remastered from Amazon.

Saw Asda had a 32" TV for £89, I was tempted but resisted. They have a 40" one for £129 on offer today as well.

Random question, but got a little problem with the new laptop. When I press a key on the keyboard, the notepad will stop working, is that a setting or is it a limitation with laptops?

Just finished work. What an absolute MESS.

I work in Currys/PC World call center, Knowhow. The phone lines have been on and off all day, been having customers complain at me about not being able to place an order over the fucking phone, lazy bastards should have gone and bought it in the shop.

Black Friday was a ball ache, on an average day i take roughly 600 calls, on Friday i took 2,781. Saturday not much better, took 1,946. Today was brilliant though, only took 129, because of the phone lines

Also earnt a bonus of £170 for this month on Friday. I call it a success \o/

Also the website showing the queue was absolute bollocks, never once on Friday in the call center did anybody get that message, clearly artificial like someone above said, its to make people rush to buy things then cos they think 177,000 people waiting will mean products will sell out fast.

Currys/PC World made a killing though tbf, i sold 126,000 worth of stuff in my 2,781 calls, and there are 130 people on the sales floor.
