Do you want the optional insurance??? NO! FUCKING NO!

After listening to the neighbors above us playing their X-Box WITH their subwoofer on at ALL hours of night, the rythmic thudding got to us I guess. We went and bought our own today. While we were looking at the game, some big tall Best Buy guy came to offer us advice on games to buy. I'd already picked out Oddworld and Kev grabbed Halo since it ( Read more... )

I've had the same problems at best buy... I have walked out of Best Buy because of their crappola.

Experience 1: Husband and I go in to ask about memory. Next thing I know best buy boy is remarking that the best thing about the internet is all the chicks he can pick up. I call him an ass and leave the store. Husband is amused.

Experience 2: I go to buy digital camera -

Best Buy Boy: Do you want the extended warranty?
Me: No.
BBB: Are you sure?
Me: Yes.
BBB: Do you know what an extended warranty is?
Husband whispers: Uh oh.
Me: Yes.
BBB: I don't think you do. Let me explain it to you.
Me: I'm not an idiot, and if you treat me as an idiot again, I'm dropping this camera, finding your manager, and then walking out the door.

BBB says nothing. Other customers in the area highly amused.

I have crap like that happen every time I'm at Best Buy.

I'm toying with the idea of playing "Let's Make a Deal" with them.

"Ok, I'll buy the extended warranty...IF you dance around the store singing "I"m a little teapot" AND I can come here every Wed and do my laundry in your appliance section FREE!"

*giggle*

me and my sister went into best buy and we couldn't get *any* help. i suppose it would be just as annoying as getting too much.

It's always like that. Either they ignore you or you can't get rid of them!

I quote a game you got me once.

"Crast!"

Sadly, this is the price we pay for cheap consumer goods. I spent a few years in sales (some distribution, some retail). I'd say I came out of it with my soul intact, but most people would say theres nothing of shreds of soul left for me anyways ( ... )

No worries. Everyone should see the seamy side of evil retail. It won't change anything, but everyone should be aware. :)
