My god am I glad I didn't work at the two Dick Smiths you worked at. "They think they can get away with that kind of stuff' Why don't you pop down and BUY dvds for the store...thats right PURCHASE with actual money and put them in random players all around the store. Watch with glee as they all disappear within the first hour at $20 a pop...now thats bright.
You do realise that even purchased DVDs may not be screened in public, right? They're licensed for private home use only. Most of the stores I've been to don't even have access to an antenna, which makes even just chucking the grand final on a chore. Stop being daft.
To me looks like the photos or video are real ust edited so why bother posting the video. If you could prove it should have went to the head office not youtube.
I used to work for this declining company. They encouraged us to sell used products, as in products that someone has taken home and used for (posibley for 2 weeks) and just brought it back to the store for a full cash refund. Laptops, Tv's, SAT nav's, PS3's, Xbox, anything! they get us to lie about it say it's an ex demo or display. we would just clean it with a "wet pipe". How fucked is that?
haha, im from a dick smith branch. well ive been in two. and yeah, some of the employees arent that bright, or they think they can get away with that kind of stuff.
Minor detail but the Rangiora store (which has now closed down) wasn't even a proper Dick Smith, it was owner operated. They'd buy their stock from other Dick Smith retail stores at a trade price, and re-sell it.
pfft, being an employee for tandy, sif most of these companies dont do it. yes, the company doesnt like it or technically "allow" it, but i meen its rampid through the industry and how the heck else are we meant to display videos without ripping dvds? its easier to put a series of episodes (like top gear) on win media player and leave it. most stores in WA do that no matter what brand, dickies, tandy, harveys, iv seen all stores do it!
this is rediculous! how old r u? why would u be that much of a loser and post that on you tube? you could get people into serious trouble for that! and by the way did u know its actually illegal to go into a shop with a filming device and actually film the shop without permission! loser. get a life!!!!
You took a picture of a TV in a Dick Smith store, to try to make people hate the company? Riiiiiggghhhtt.

This is nothing compared to Dick Smith selling System-80 computers containing PIRATED code ripped off from the Tandy TRS-80 Model 1.

What do you want to do, just put it in the bin? What a waste. Never lie to the customer, they'll just bring it back to haunt you.

On MSN news today (17/September/08)
Customer bought a phone in Cairns, and found a whole lot of porn shots on the phone.
It gets worse, the pics were of an employee of the store she bought the phone from.
Classic.
