- SixChamber, on 07/09/2009, -6/+447As a former employee, these illustrations could not be more true.
2 - His name was Carl and I used to smoke weed with him after work
3 - Her name was Amanda and she was that bubbly blonde girl who worked in Media and didn't do *****
4 - Never talked to that guy but we had the scruffy bearded guy
5 - All the guys in Geek Squad
6 - His name was Dave and he was the Senior in my department. Fat, pudgy, pasty, and annoying.
7 - Anthony the appliances manager.
8 - All of the Loss Prevention guys.
I sure as hell do not miss that place. - RandomEarthling, on 07/09/2009, -4/+330Want it all in one page without the gallery? Here it is:
http://gizmodo.com/5311140/the-seven-types-of-empl ... - bradlkm, on 07/09/2009, -1/+314A little bit of a rant, but I had to stop going to Best Buy after buying an car MP3 CD player. After picking out the one I wanted, the guy working there asked if I wanted the extended service plan. I said I didn't. He told me that, since MP3's were compressed, the bits were much closer together on the CD and laser reader had to work a lot harder inside, thus it was more likely to have problems. Uggggggh.
- gambit2121, on 07/09/2009, -3/+282What about the sales guy who asks you if you need help finding anything every three minutes, and then when you do actually need help has know ***** idea what you're talking about.
- MrBogard, on 07/09/2009, -3/+223Probably for money.
- Panthro, on 07/09/2009, -2/+198They missed the weaselly guy in computers telling old people how they need a $2000 PC and a $300 service plan to go with it.
- diskopo, on 07/09/2009, -5/+171I definitely have seen some cute girls work at Best Buy occasionally, for whatever reason.
- dudefaceguyman, on 07/09/2009, -2/+148Missing the Linux geek who looks like he's about to commit suicide every time he sells a windows laptop.
- iEATcatFOOD, on 07/09/2009, -1/+140The loss prevention guy at the best buy i live near has the biggest beer belly i've ever seen. He is literally the fattest guy i've ever laid my eyes upon, and I have no doubt in my mind he couldn't chase a no legged amputee crawling on glass.
- gnomeh, on 07/09/2009, -7/+130You mean they don't offer a course in technology to underpaid employees? Getting hired in retail and shoved into some department doesn't mean a person magically assimilates all the knowledge of TVs. If a person is pretending to know about something they don't know then they're a douche. A person being self-righteous cause "LOL'D I SHOWED UP THEM IDIOTS AT GAMESTOP/BEST BUY" is worse tho.
- argagarg, on 07/09/2009, -0/+119Which one were you?
- Ezrayan, on 07/09/2009, -4/+104you pimp-slapped him right?
- HelAom, on 07/09/2009, -5/+96They forgot the employees that think they know more than the customers and then are totally shut down when we have to explain things to them
- phyx726, on 07/09/2009, -2/+798. The Intersect
- christoast, on 07/09/2009, -1/+76this is why i dislike being around people and only go out for supplies.
- pk386, on 07/09/2009, -2/+75LOL I used to install car audio and this was my store...
(yes I did have a 94 civic Si) - iEATcatFOOD, on 07/09/2009, -3/+769. The fanboy near the games department, telling you which type of console you should buy/which games
- Yankees368, on 07/09/2009, -6/+76I miss circuit city :-(
At least there, you knew you were not going to get any help from the staff, but they occasionally had cheaper prices. - kinerry, on 07/09/2009, -4/+70know = no
- mywhitenoise, on 07/09/2009, -3/+67You sound like a "Pervy Geek Squad Guy"
- Spire3660, on 07/09/2009, -1/+63THat was only true in recent history. CC had a long history of having knowledgeable sales people until they fired all the commissioned sales guys and offered to re-hire them back at just over minimum wage.
- saifatlast, on 07/09/2009, -2/+61Yeah, like at other stores, or restaurants, or doing cancer research or computer programming. Really, they have many options.
- crash331, on 07/09/2009, -3/+61Holy *****, your BMW has an exhaust?
My Kia is totally missing that part. I gotta buy me one. - wing05, on 07/09/2009, -4/+62I had a Honda sales guy tell me last night that all car dealerships have a first time initaiation fee and that theirs was $400.
But with it, came free nitrogen tire fill ups for a few years ('cause nitrogen doesn't leak out of tires and gives you better mileage") and they provide you with a $3000 coupon should your car get stolen.
Also, the drive by wire throttle meant faster starts than a traditional throttle.
Saddly, he didn't/couldn't stop even when I tipped my head down and looked at him through above my glasses. - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -2/+56Dugg because after working there for three and a half years, I encountered every single one of them. Especially the car audio sales/install guy.
- CrazySpaniard, on 07/09/2009, -1/+51Gracias Señor.
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -1/+49Like the guy who was trying to tell me that Vista 32 Bit could read 6 gigs of RAM after service pack 1? I purchased nothing that day.
- Scalpels, on 07/09/2009, -0/+48That isn't a bad return on investment.
- nextekcarl, on 07/09/2009, -0/+48I saw this woman once who was so overweight, the skin on the outside of her thigh rolled over her knee and touched her calf. I have no idea how she was able to walk.
- damnshoes, on 07/09/2009, -0/+47i like to point my gun at peoples faces and scream BOOM HEADSHOT!
- themastersb, on 07/09/2009, -6/+53They forgot the manager with a sinus infection who drinks fruit punch, eats Cheetos all day, and has an arsenal of gadgets around his waist.
- Canadianinjapan, on 07/09/2009, -1/+47All those people are white. Let's just say that the best buys here are very multicultural
- lanzemurdok, on 07/09/2009, -2/+48you take it to geek squad?
and you're on digg? - DMDekoth, on 07/09/2009, -2/+46Also, the security guy is constantly drinking those five hour energy drinks. Like, four a day.
- freshgrease, on 07/09/2009, -3/+46After seeing the business Geek Squad gets, I thought about trying to get myself a job there after college until I realized that I don't have the heart to screw people over knowledgeably.
- celerity, on 07/09/2009, -6/+49Thank you. My husband used to do this, and I threatened to just go by myself and buy every unneeded feature that they offered just to piss him off. The poor kid is 17 and just wants a paycheck - lay off of him.
- BoneStamp, on 07/09/2009, -0/+42A real live lesbian? No way!
- cor315, on 07/09/2009, -1/+438. The guy that has been working there since highschool and still doesn't know ***** about computers.
- orthodoxDrew, on 07/09/2009, -1/+42i remember this guy i worked with in GS...damn he thought finding porn was HILARIOUS. he'd show everybody then keep a straight face when dealing with the customer. it's a talent.
- BoneStamp, on 07/09/2009, -0/+40He should be good for 20 hours.
- mywhitenoise, on 07/09/2009, -1/+40I remember asking "What's the contrast ratio on this TV?"
He looks at me with a dumb and nervous smile, as if I were quizzing him "uh, 1080p!" - zip000, on 07/09/2009, -0/+38No it doesn't.
- radialturkey, on 07/10/2009, -0/+37It's sadder when they don't even work there..
- BoneStamp, on 07/09/2009, -1/+37@C4Strife
He got fired over it, then sued them for wrongful dismissal and the truth came out in court. - mywhitenoise, on 07/09/2009, -0/+36No, we just go in there and take what we see. The shelves are magically stocked.
- combatgoose, on 07/09/2009, -4/+39#6 looks oddly like Gabe Newell.
- gambit2121, on 07/09/2009, -1/+36*****....my bad....
- Zomgondo, on 07/09/2009, -4/+37By "multicultural" do you mean "urban?"
- hfactor, on 07/09/2009, -7/+39So it's OK for a store to have incompetent employees because... Why again? When I go buy a TV, I want to talk to someone who knows TVs, who loves TVs, who eats, drinks and breathes TVs. Retail chains are a joke.
