However, as far as formality goes, I would still say in comparison to another large retail chain, such as Dixons for example, the atmosphere and structure in our shop is far less rigid and formal.

im not havin a dig at you persinally but i suppose on that topic im primarily comparing SC to Rainbow. I feel far more comfortable going into Rainbow with a retarded face on asking stupid questions than going into SC and doing the same.
