I was in there shopping for a video card one time and one of those stinky/BO bastards kept bothering me, obviously just b/c he wanted his name on any ticket possible...I should have told him to invest in some Right Gaurd to help his sales numbers.
It's been a cycle for them....those fuckers are back from the dead like 2 or 3 times over now.Originally posted by waycooljr View Post70' Chevelle RagTop

Academy had some bullshit like that when I worked there, I wasn't on commission so I just completely ignored it and treated people how I would want to be treated. Acknowledge someone and treat them with respect and answer their questions honestly without some long line of bs to upsale something they didn't need.Comment

MINNEAPOLIS - Best Buy Co.'s board is investigating whether its former CEO, Brian Dunn, misused company funds while carrying out a relationship with a female subordinate, reports said Thursday.
The Star Tribune in Minneapolis and The Wall Street Journal attributed their reports to people familiar with the matter. The sources were not named in the reports.
Dunn resigned abruptly Monday. The company announced the resignation Tuesday, saying it had launched an investigation into Dunn's "personal conduct" that was unrelated to its "operations or financial controls."
Dunn was a 28-year company veteran who had been head of Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics chain, since 2009.
Ron Hutcheson, a spokesman for Best Buy's board, said Thursday the investigation is ongoing and said the board's findings will be made public and "appropriate action will be taken if warranted."
Hutcheson declined to comment on the details in the reports Thursday. He only said Washington, D.C.-based law firm WilmerHale is working with the board's audit investigation committee on the matter.
According to the Journal, the 29-year-old woman who was allegedly involved with Dunn worked in a leadership-training institute at the company's Richfield, Minn., headquarters. The paper said it could not be learned whether she still worked there. The newspaper didn't reveal her name.
The Star Tribune reported that the company is investigating multiple complaints of Dunn behaving inappropriately with a female subordinate.
The cloud surrounding the resignation adds to Best Buy's problems. Up until a few years ago, it was the place Americans went to buy TVs and cameras. But the chain suffered in the economic downturn and has been widely criticized for not being quick to respond to growing competition and the changing shopping habits of Americans.
The company said Thursday that it had created a search committee to find Dunn's replacement.
It said the committee will run a global search that will look at internal and external candidates. Interim CEO Mike Mikan will be among those considered for the job. Mikan formerly served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of UnitedHealth Group Inc. and chief executive officer of Optum, a health care services company affiliated with UnitedHealth.
The search could take up to nine months, Best Buy said.
Its shares ended Thursday up 28 cents at $22.24. They have lost 27 percent in last year and more than half of their value since April 2006.Comment

I pretty much avoid BB these days. I went in a year ago to just buy a laptop and leave. A simple in and out transaction, right? BB constantly tried to up sell me on having geek squad prepare (molest) my laptop first, and then came the incessant offers for software and other bullshit. I had them throw the software into a bag and i threw the bag away as soon as i left. I thought i'd never get the sales girl to leave me alone so i could just buy the damn laptop and leave.
When a company starts peddling crap and gimmicks (chief auto parts and air fresheners and low rider magazines, for example) instead of focusing on their core competency the end is near.Comment

Exactly! Taking the seal off it in the parking lot to jam to it on the way home (or just driving around for an hour to hear all of it), seems to be something the new generation seems to have lost out onOriginally posted by Wicked98Snake View Post
...and companys like Best Buy only cater to kids, as if they have all the money. Maybe Best Buy thinks they are the only ones left to shop there. ha
If they keep the prices fair then paying a couple bucks for tax is totally worth it instead of waiting days for the shit to show up in the mail... at least to me, I hate waiting for a damn thing.
