I Work at Best Buy

Disgruntled Best Buy Employees

SAMPLE:

Vrai Approved.​

You can’t live in the American South without hearing surly rednecks WHINE about “ferners” (foreigners, for those of you without a southern drawl). Specifically, they always present an ultimatum of, “learn English or leave the country.” Now, I’ve always been the guy who could agree with you that people living in a predominately English-speaking society should know English. But, I’ve also always been the guy to call you a FREAKING inbreed for suggesting that it be a prerequisite for citizenship.

However…I’m beginning to draw a line. Working in retail is quickly chipping away at my “cultural tolerance” level. I still don’t think English should be required to live in USA, but I’ll be damned if it shouldn’t be required before you can SHOP here.

The original (PG-13 version)

SAMPLE:
Me: “Are you finding everything okay?”

You: “No.”

Me: “Well, what are you looking for?”

You: “A good deal.”

Sound familiar? It does?

Well screw you.

Every day I hear some variation of that same, tired excuse for comedy and every day I wish I had an icepick handy. When you say crap like that all you are doing is wasting my time. I’m not amused. I ask my opening question as a way to determine if you are really in need of help. Saying that you are looking for a “good deal” just puts me in an awkward position. I’m pretty certain at that point that you are going to be a jackass to deal with, but with managers circling my department like vultures I can’t tell you to get the hell out. So how about you make it easy on me and just quit trying to be cute?

How great would it be if we had a special section of the store called the “Good Deals Sector” where I could direct you as a response to that assinine question? You know, we could fill the rest of the store with ridiculously overpriced trash for the average shopper, but have a special V.I.P. area for shrewd, savvy business folk like yourself. It could only be accessed with a highly confidential, incredibly complicated secret code: when I ask what you are looking for, you tell me “A good deal.” NO ONE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.

Except for every fricken jerk willing to be a complete tool for the sake of a little unappreciated, overused “humor.”

Bestbuy is a place of business. Come in prepared to cope with that like an intelligent adult. As if I’ve never said this before….DON’T WASTE MY TIME. :twitch:<!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->

And my cleaned up reply:

Here we go with the crappy attitude of the minimum wage set. You, young Best Buys drone, are here to serve me, the person who ultimately provides your paycheck. When I tell you to go run and find something for me, I expect you to do it, not give me your juvenile can't-get-a-better job garbage.

Wasting your time? Wasting YOUR time????? Your "time" isn't worth crap when you're on the clock. Your time will be spent doing what I tell your ass to do.

In fact, if you're typical of a Best Buys employee, it will be my pleasure to "get the hell out" and we'll see how long you have a job.

People like this piss me off.

:yeahthat: Typical attitude of some folks who have worked for me who have a few college courses under their belt and expect, that with their "higher education," to move into senior management at a six figure salary just barely out of H.S. They were shown the door at the first opportunity and usually walked out with a "what did I do" look on their face. :loser: Yep, really looking forward to the Best Buy in St. Mary's!

This punk hasn't been my experience with Best Buy. I shop there a lot and the sales dudes are unfailingly helpful and polite.

I don't know about that. I went into the auto electronics section looking for a car starter/alarm for around 200-300 dollars. The guygets all snooty with me and says that such an item does not exist, (his words). I had to correct him by tellng him, "Yes it does. Circuit City sells them but they are out of stock, so I had to come here." He took offense to that comment and told me that it is most likely junk then. Even though it was the exact same unit Best Buy was selling for $450. When I tried to talk to him about XM Radio, he didn't have any clue about half of the receivers. If you are going to work in retail and rely on it for your income, know something about what you sell and the competition that is right across the street.

If they hate BB so much, why do they work there?


I actually go into a dirtworld BB instead of ordering online so I can pick the brain of the sales guy. Shoot, when I bought my daughter's karaoke machine, the sales guy even picked out the CDs for it :lol:

See, I wouldn't trust them to actually know what they are talking about. I'd rather look it up online and get the reviews from MANY people who actually own and use the item instead of a single salesperson who might be making stuff up (I've heard of that happening many times).

That's like saying we're here to serve the sun because it ultimately provides all our energy.

But if the sun asked your help in finding something, wouldn't you help as quickly as possible? :lol:
