Poll Started 23 Feb 2009. Would you help a fellow consumer? You’re in the queue at an electrical shop. The person in front of you is taking back their new radio, bought a few days earlier, as it's faulty. The shop staff tell him/her "you have to send it to manufacturer, it's not our business". This is NOT correct, it is the shop you made the 'contract' with, thus the law says it needs to sort it. You KNOW what the shops said is wrong, so which of these is nearest to your attitude?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
