Now thinking that spending 2k on a tv would alight their attention and I'd have staff jumping up to help me, I was wrong.
When I went and asked the staff members in the tv section (they were all together watching tv...) if I could have the remotes for the tvs I wanted to look at (they were all locked away) the response I got was "buy the tvs, then you get the remotes."

Reminds me of my experience in a local small hifi/home cinema shop. About 14 years ago, I was looking for a home cinema system. I had scrimped and saved for months and had around £900.
Now, I do genuinely believe that we should support our local businesses where possible so I went to a local home cinema shop. When he discovered I only had £900 he looked at me like I was something he might have stepped in, and said "well you might get something for that". He was right, I did. Not there though. I went up Tottenham Court Road, bought a Pioneer VSX-808, 5 good (ish) speakers (didn't get a sub as I didn't want to offend my neighbours) and all the right cables. A set up that's still giving good service
