A while back The Indianapolis Star had a column where a writer would try to solve customer service problems for readers. He had a string of Best Buy complaints, and not even the specter of having the store manager’s name in the paper as a jerk was enough to get them to actually give customer service.
The last column I saw him do said, “It’s the usual thing at this store; you’d Best Buy somewhere else.” A few days later, the Star announced he had accepted a position at another paper.
Which one cost more (as if I need to ask)?
Interesting point. Vice City cost more, but only by a couple of dollars.
He must have been one of those people who is only interested in the latest and greatest, and cannot comprehend it when others are not.
If that were the case, he would’ve told her to buy GTA: San Andreas.
I assume the incident happened before GTA:SA had been released.
It’s true, it was not too long after Vice City came out.
Think how confused he’d have been if I were buying GTA3 right after GTA:SA came out. 
Wild-ass guess: He figured you were like the however many other clueless customers he’s dealt with who saw the Latest Hot Video Game advertised but didn’t remember the name of it right, insisted that Prequel to Latest Hot Video Game was what they wanted, took it home, opened it, played it, brought it back incensed that this was not what they’d seen in the commercials and that idiot salesperson didn’t help them get what they wanted, and raised a fit with the manager over wanting to exchange an opened game for another title.
Either that, or he thought he knew the voices in your head better than you do. shrug
I’m not really sure who the voices in my head are. Maybe they’re him.
If that’s so, he’s being a real bastard by jerking you around over which title you want to buy!
Me and you both there chief. My primary rule when grocery shopping is to never let the wheels of the cart come to a complete stop. “Just keep Moving” is my motto. So it never fails, no matter how late or odd the hour, some morons will be in the aisle, two abreast, reading the labels or otherwise engaging in some other sub-moronic or otherwise none-moving, lolly-gagging activity. I hate all of humanity at these moments.
It has been years since I’ve used a cart. I must have ADD when it comes to groceries. I use the little plastic basket. Sure, I shop every couple days, but I’m always in and out quickly.
Or he immediately assumed you were buying it for The Man Of The House, instead of for yourself.
Just get the Linksys router. IIRC, they’re the same price as the access points (or cheaper), and with the right settings and/or firmware, you can turn them into access points or bridges.
I’ve only been in a Best Buy once, and had an incredibly positive experience. I was looking for the DVD of “Miracle” and after looking in every section I thought it could be in, I asked a salesguy for help. He said “I’m pretty sure we have it, but let me check the computer - yep, we have it.” So we walk over to the section where the computer said 3 copies of the movie were supposed to be - no “Miracle”. This kid looks all over the DVD section until he finds the movie where it had been put in the wrong section - and when I left he was moving the 2 remaining copies to where they were supposed to be. I got his name and wrote an “attaboy” card - it was so nice to find someone in that type of job who was actually helpful!
