Not places that sell computers. At night, sure, but they're open every day otherwise. They might lose a sale...

You might, I won't follow it anyway. I've nothing with Apple. Actually, I don't think I have one Apple product at home...

Well, it broke down somewhere between 16:30 and 17:00. And most shops close (on saturday) at 16:30.

Not even those shops that only have two or three employees? Besides, most computers here are bought over the internet anyway...

Let's rephrase that. I'll never buy anything from Apple.

here they close around 19:00 luckily. (maybe a bit later during the week, depends on the shop, but mostly not past 19:30). i would never have been able to replace it if they closed at 16:30.

here we have a major computer chain called surcouf, but i wouldn't buy anything from them, it's always overpriced and if you have to go in person it's like a zoo, worse than ikea. and i think even surcouf is closed on sundays. the fnac sells computers too but only ready-made ones, and again they're closed on sundays. a lot of computer shopping is done online but sometimes you're in a hurry...

and most of the shops i go to are the small ones, with only a few employees.

In the big town about 45 minutes away, yes. But I live near a much smaller town.

Me too. Generally the service is better and they are more friendly and knowledgeable. I found out the larger the store, the worst the knowledge. There was once this tiny computer store. It was located in the cellar of a building. But everybody who was serious about computers went there. They never advertised, it all was done by word of mouth. Now, they have 4 shops. And they've no idea what they're selling anymore.
