Aiden - on behalf of all Halford's employees (the ones who do not suck anyway) I would like to offer you a sincere apology.
There's absolutely no reason why buying your bike should've been such a hassle -short of waiting for stock availability.
If you have your receipt you can go to a website and give feedback, name and shame them because they will get it in the neck as a result. Especially if it was a manager at fault.
The thing with the helmet is a new one, we used to sell the display ones, but then somebody pointed out that they could easily have been dropped and damaged so now we don't -just in case. As with all rules, some people flout them when it suits.
I hope after all this you are happy with your bike though. Next time come to Carlisle and I'll get you a good deal
