[edit] Criticisms
I removed the criticisms section, since they were all personal opinions without citations. If there's some kind of basis for these criticisms (market research or something) then someone can add them back in. Illuminattile 20:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Added a criticisms section again under "controversy". While Wikipedia probably shouldn't be seen to be a vehicle for specific customer complaints, the fact that Comet is reviewed as having very poor customer service should really be covered, to present a fair and balanced view of the company, while still maintaining neutrality.
2005 is recent ? (Johnny Copper 22:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC))
Interesting to see someone remove all criticisms of the company. Criticisms added, with slight edits.
Someone started a section called "Britain's most trusted retailer". This reads as mistatement of fact, so the title has been changed to a more neutral "Marketing development".
As of late 2006, early 2007 the pay system in Comet has changed. The new system is similar to the older commision system. Note: only larger "Destination" stores were without commision, smaller "Core" stores have always been on commision.
It appears the article is being used for public relations purposes, so added the earlier acceptable "controversy" section to balance corporate PR with consumer experiences.
RE: Trading Standards - TS reported that Comet attempted to exploit a fine line between legal and illegal activity. Because of this TS advised they probably could not pursue the matter, but recommended individual court action, which was not pursued. Therefore Trading Standards did not reject the complaint as invalid, but instead recommended escalation via other channels. - Brian Turner —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.109.74 (talk) 11:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
