I remember Consumers Distributing. Given their standard procedures in those days, I think that you're right. If they'd managed to hang on long enough, the Net would have been a Strength for them.
HA! I was talking about Consumers just the other day...
I only remember going into the store that used to be at Kipling and Queensway a lot as a kid, although I'm not sure why. I thought there was one closer. I was honestly bitter about the one that moved into Centre Mall, though. It took the place of a Jumbo Video and that was my place for finding old and strange VHS tapes to rent.
There was also the matter of the toys I wanted being always out of stock. :(
Oh that sounds like Argos! We've still got those, but the waiting around was for them to be bothered to take the big things off teh storeroom shelves rather than if they had it or not.
Not great for buying tellies from, either, as it appears they use them instead of step ladders (giant foot print, squashed internal packaging, non funtional telly).
I'll swear its growing organically into the buildings around it. I know we don't get to go to it that often (being on the other side of the Puddle), but that's the impression from a once every couple of years visitor.

What's ironic is they probably sell ladders, but don't want to damage them too much.

In the case of Hairy T, I believe you mean "flagrantly breaking zoning, labour and workplace safety law."
