Mikezilla:
Its kinda funny how these threads evolve.  :lol

Heh, thanks Mike. It was pretty much a +1 on your point earlier, but I like to elaborate. :cheers:

I do live like 5 minutes away from Best Buy Corp, and know a number of corporate employees there. It is a sweet gig in an amazing building, They can handle a small hit on price for Mario Galaxy. Best Buy does not make its money off of fair prices, but preying on customers who do not know better. I needed to buy a SATA cable cable really quick, so I stopped at Best Buy. It was $34. I walked out laughing, no way in hell I would pay that price.  :lol

Doesn't really matter anyway as that was a specific response to a specific situation that is unrelated to the topic at hand.

I do admit, CA has some of the most Employee sided labor regulations of them all, but I work in HR for a company that will not accept much loss from the employee mistakes. We have an "expectation based bonus", and we don't take money equal to the loss out of the bonus, the loss is calculated through a series of formulas, and the employee bonus cut ends up much more than the actual loss.  >:D

I avoid employees at BB like the plague.

They are required to expect everyone in there to have the IQ of 20, a wallet of solid gold, an unsatiable need to impulse buy whatever they are told is the "item to have", and a belief that the product will internally implode in a week without their warranty policy.

I'm pretty sure that's written in the employee handbook.  :dunno

i remember some sort of post or special on the big name stores that they have a policy at the door...  You are either A, B, or C, A being you look like you have money, but have no knowledge of computers, the mom looking for the xbox type of parent who they can sell 6 controllers to, and us, who know what we are talking about...  They dont want anything to do with C.

I believe that in a heartbeat. My question now is why the heck I keep getting in "Group A"....It's because I look rich, right?
