East Wind and Audio Vision are run by the same family. Audio Vision still has inventory from the 1980’s prominantly displayed in their front windows, and to my knowledge, is only open as a tax shelter, as the Wong’s make so much money, they don’t care if they ever get new product there.
East Wind doesn’t have any games of any kind. They only deal with a select few brands of stereo equipment, tv’s, vcr’s, dvd’s, cd’s, discmans, cell phones, small kitchen appliances, and they even now have a couple digital cameras for sale as well. They also rent out dvd’s, and are the cheapest place in town to rent from. Just remember to check the discs before you play them… I’ve rented a couple that have been mucked up on the bottom before.

It’s probably the same display I put up in that window when I was working there!
My dad works for Ray, who runs Audio Vision, and also owns the Neptune Motor Inn. Guy drives him up the wall usually. Isn’t he called “Rip-Off Ray”…the name totally suits him, and I’ve only met the guy a few times. Audio Vision is a joke, I am surprised that place is still open. I don’t understand why anyone would go buy anything there…ever.
this one time in band camp…yikes… no let me start over this one time i brought my sony playstation to be fixed there and i went back a few days latter over the weekend and those basterds had it out front as a demo for customers to play with…was I ever pissed…
[quote=“smartass”]We have 2 prior Audio Vision employees that post here?? How weird.
Next time I walk by there I’ll take pictures for you StarDog… I’m sure you’ll see some familiar stuff.[/quote]
Yeah, I’d like to see that. I wonder if they still have those stupid looking baseball caps in the left-hand window with even stupider stuff written on them like “Free Handlebar Mustache Rides” and stuff…
Select or not, let’s back off on it, just a bit. I have never worked there but I have friends who have and still do. They and the store actually make significant donations year-round to several non-profit organizations in the community. It is a Canadian-owned company that actually has a constitution of ethics, unlike the worker-crushing, American-owned, sweat shop-dependent Wal-Mart.
Too often, I hear Zellers employees talking about customers who, instead of calmly stating their problem, yell at them as if they were deliberately trying to screw up their days. A lot of customers have this snobby attitude that they can wipe their feet on big store employees because they know most of them aren’t getting a great wage. If you’re a good customer, know what you’re looking for and treat employees, at any business, with respect, you’ll get the same.
Having, er, a good-sized beer belly, I find Zellers has good quality, VERY affordable pants. Yes, it also has a lot of crap (never buy White-Westinghouse products!) but they at least have an extremely reasonable return policy: no time limit and no receipt required! Not many other stores do that.
