I know that many consider hyper-targeted advertising to be the future, but sometimes a creative campaign blows it away #greggs #toolstation

So that's both #Toolstation and #Google responding to me that they're totally happy with leading their users to scam artists this week.

Toolstation's scam is a "partnership" and google apparently had a whole team review the naked and blatent scam and couldn't find anything wrong with it!

I'm really quite ok with the idea of capitalism, but it's now reaching far into "we'll scam anyone we can and we don't care", i'm not so sure.

Truing to persuade #toolstation to remove the Complete Savings scam they shove in your face at the end of every purchase. Hate to think how many inadvertant £18s have been charged by these scammers.

I need some cheap picture hooks because I can't find the ones I took off my living room wall before it was renovated, those brass ones that you nail in, of course pound shops only stock the shitty plastic stick on ones that fall off. Don't want to order online because postage is more than the value of the item.

#Screwfix? They think I'm the fucking Tate gallery! What am I going to do with 100 of them?

At least #toolstation are a bit more sensible

@DJDarren

Needs £90,000. Asks 500 people for £1,000 each.

You have been taking lessons. (-:

There is a lot to buy from Toolstation and Jewson with all of the left over lolly, of course. Fancy MDF plinths with a bit of white with a hint of fuschia splashed on, are not free.

Interestingly, #toolstation is selling it with 20+ in stock at my nearest store, and for £70 less...

#Screwfix: guy cuts into collection queue from pay now queue, accuses me of pushing in, refuses to acknowledge clear signage. Have to lock my bike outside, staff not always on best form (understandably)

#Toolstation: always friendly, let me bring dog or bike in, jovial queuing if needed at all.

Clear #Twitter and #Mastodon comparisons :-)
