[The Unknown Poster]

You never like hearing of people losing jobs but the news of Future Shop's demise made me smile. I had recently bemoaned the lack of Best Buy in south Winnipeg. That Pembina Future Shop was a joke.

I remember buying a VCR there when I was a kid. It was the place to go. Now you walk in there for something as simple as a DVD and God only knows where it might be. Could be six different sections, if they had it at all. Employees milling about in groups talking about whatever, no one wants to help you especially with something like a DVD. Easiest way to get help was to take an expensive item off the shelf and make your way towards the cashier...then they all want to "carry it to the front" for you. Yeah right.

Anyone know if there are plans to expand the stores? That Pembina location seems an awful lot smaller than St James...
