He kept saying "not necessary" and I kept saying "so you DON'T WANT to do it even though you are standing right here, next to a customer interested in buying one"? This went on and on until he lost it and said "yes, I don't want to do it".
I left the store emptyhanded. Thing is, letting me see it in action would have given them a sale for sure.
No wonder Amazon is winning over brick and mortar stores.

No wonder
In all fairness, up until yesterday -and that specific man- I've always had nice explanations and the devices were displayed very quickly. Even when I went to exchange my first Aura HD, everyone was nice and helpful.
Hopefully they'll get their act together soon (or the Aura won't sell well in some stores, because if you don't know that there is a new Kobo ereader, you won't be learning it by going to Vice-versa's FNAC or mine).
