A bit of a Gerald Ratner moment... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ratner

Mind you, Ratner was the CEO - I don't think he'd have taken kindly to someone working in one of his shops saying the same thing.

A lot of customers wouldn't have felt they could disagree with the shop assistant by choosing the NC without feeling foolish for buying a frivolous 'toy.'
