How Did You Get Your First Job?

In the 1980s, Argos was seen as a bargain basement retailer. It didn't even bother to put its products on the shelves. But it turned out that they cared about quality more than other department stores. Their lower margin meant their product could be sold in high volumes. And this gave them an advantage over rivals who had higher margins. They were able to open new manufacturing facilities and dive down the wind pipe. The company is now one of Britain's biggest fashion retailers.
