Advantages: Unique shopping, competitive prices Disadvantages: Longer waiting in busier periods
Argos is different to any other high street retailer due to the method is sells items. Like in conventional shops, the items for sale are not on display for you to look and try, except in a big catalogue listing everything argos sells and not putting the items on the shop floor (except some items which I'll come back to later!). The catalogue listing all the items is roughly about 2000 pages, which is an awful lot of items! Each item has a price, a short description, a catalogue number, with the majority, but not all, having a picture of the item. Argos releases a new catalogue about 3 times a year, which if you didn't know is free to take from any store!
The idea behind argos is that the customer goes home and chooses what they want to buy. They then come into store where there are more catalogues places around the shop floor, this ...

Advantages: friendly, clean, good price, good facilities, excellent all round Disadvantages: none
if you're thinking of staying in piraeus, then we would thoroughly recommend the acropole. we were made to feel very welcome and felt at home straight away. the staff offered us useful information and we were delighted with every aspect of our stay! it is just a 3-minute walk from the bus station which has a direct bus to the airport. also, it is a 2-minute walk from the subway which we used to get around athens (very cheap and easy to use). finally, it is 100-metres from the port itself, making it perfect if you, like us, want to visit the beautiful surrounding islands.
so if you want somewhere very friendly, clean and incredibly well-priced, then we can honestly recommend it. we cant wait to return.
good luck! ...
Advantages: Wide range of products. Their own Value range does offer some decent bargains. Disadvantages: Sometimes have to wait too long.
There are very few high streets in the UK that don't have the iconic Argos or Argos Extra store somewhere along them. For decades Argos has been the place to go for more or less anything, and still is to this day. From computer games to sofas, and from wardrobes to lawnmowers, you're virtually sure to find what you're looking for here. It isn't the sort of shop you'd visit on a daily basis, but it nonetheless is synonymous with shoppers all across the land.
I refer in particular to the Argos branches in Southampton, and the one in the High Street. When you walk in there is a massive area of almost complete openness, bar a few catalogues and stock-checking machines for your convenience. Right at the far end is the collection area, and to the right-hand side are several tills and a queuing area to be served. Alongside this is a tiny ...
