Argos Extra

A quick question; how do you classify Argos? I mean, what category do you put the shop in. Is it a department store? It certainly has different departments; there’s the electronics department, the clothing department, the kitchenware department, the jewellery department. It’s just that these departments exist in the abstract, with the contents actually strewn about the warehouse in uncared for piles. In that case, is it a warehouse? It has all the personality of one. The huge back room populated by dead-​eyes worker drones, scurrying about carrying boxes speaks of a warehouse.
I don’t think it’s either, actually. I think the best classification for Argos is that of a convenience store. The reason for this is, the only reason you should ever shop at Argos is for the sake of convenience. All of the random, assorted rubbish that every house needs, all in one roof and all a seven digit number away. Unfortunately, what you get in convenience, you pay for in… well, in money. Argos is always that touch more expensive than buying the goods from more specialist shops. If you’ve got the time but not the money, may I recommend one of those instead?
