Comment Be nice to the sales people? (Score 2, Insightful) 579
Whenever I'm begrudingly dragged along to Best Buy by someone, I am constantly amazed by all the hoops you have to go through to make a purchase. By that I mean, if you want something, you're going to have to put up with someone trying to sell you a service plan more often than not, and on top of that, now they're trying to get you to buy magazine subscriptions on the way out (8 months free and then we mail you for the rest of your life!). Whatever happened to being able to just buy something?
As for being nice to salesmen? Hell no. Make them hate their job. I don't care if they're working for some mean old manager who's making them sell PSPs. The more misery you can rain down on them, the more likely they're going to quit working there. As the jobs open up, Best Buy has to hire less and less qualified people. As those people quit, the cycle repeats. Eventually, it will be all those asshole managers working triple-time trying to sell shitty service plans to people who are assholes right back to them. And then Best Buy collapses under it's own filth.
Feel bad about being mean? We don't go into war and not shoot the troops because their commanders are the really mean ones. We kill 'em ALL.
