Is this another of your halfwit attempts at comedy, or are you actually confessing to grand larceny?

No kidding. I’m starting to think this clown should change his Username to “2-1/2 Points of IQ”

That store is less than a block away from my office. I’ve got a bigger problem with the security guards who always want to frisk you on the way out. I’ve got no problem flashing a receipt, but they always seem to want to treat people like criminals. Now I just blow past them when they ask me to stop.

Is that by any chance the Best Buy on 44th and 5th? I don’t go in there anymore because of the fucking bouncers at the door. There’s a Circuit City next to it that has a similar system, but the people at the door aren’t nearly as bad.

Good luck finding someone to prosecute.
I know approximately 30 Best Buy employees/former employees and all but one have stolen from their stores.
And the one is something like 86.

Ok, the item in question is an XBox360 game. Unfortunately it appeared to have been shipped with this. Apparently, since it was shipped to Best Buy like that, it’s not their problem and I need to call the manufacturer.

Whatever happened to the concept of the retailer as an agent for the manufacturer?
If you sell goods produced by a particular manufacturer, you should be willing to act as the responsible party if the goods you sell have something wrong with them. It should be your problem to take it up with the manufacturer, rather than simply pocketing the profit and washing your hands of the whole thing. This sort of shit makes my blood boil.

From the end of that article:
The guy was arrested for paying a fee with 2 dollar bills. What the fuck does that have to do with 9/11, you fucking idiot?

Please tell me this is an exaggeration.

Just slight hyperbole here. Let’s just say that these guys believe that posting a sign to the effect of “we have a right to search all bags” negates any customer rights to privacy. I’ve had one (try to) stand between me and the door while insisting that he look inside my backpack. That didn’t work out well for him.
To follow up.
I recieved the refund gift card from corporate and successfully purchased the item.
I was still annoyed by the store though. I dropped one of my leather gloves in the door on the way in and by the time I turned around, one of the employees had picked it up and was trying to put it on his head to impress his friends. I gave him the stern “hey sport! I’ll take that glove now.” and he complied. This was unfortunate as I had already planned to say “maybe you’d like it’s MATCH!!” and then punch him in the face with my other gloved hand. Alas that was unneccessary.
I took sweet petty satisfaction brushing past the receipt checking security guard who could only stand there impotently muttering “sir!? sir!”
So fuck you BEST BUY. Looks like I win this round.

We know.
We tried to buy a refrigerator from them a few years ago. They didn’t deliver it, then they fought us when we tried to get a refund from the credit card company. I definitely understand your rage.
