You don't want to do it like that......

I'm usually quick to mention poor service that I experience in France but today was an exception. I popped into Weldoms to see if I could find a pâte to fill small holes in a metal pipe. It was visual rather than structural so I was even prepared to consider a wood filler as long as it did the job. The first guy looked at me as if I was mad and said that I should weld it. Knowing that he could have been a bit more helpful, I set off to search the store. The obvious place to look was in the wood fillers but there was such an array of products that I lingered more than usual. I young assistant sidled up, asked if he could help and within two minutes I was offered a choice of products and found what I wanted. What a contrast.
