MODS PLEASE PLEASE LOCK THIS BABBLING NONSENSE.

<< Ease up on the retail bashing. I myself work at Best Buy and I happen to love it. The funny part of it is that the bright spots of my days are some of the moronic questions I run into from some customers.

Granted I am very far from knowing everything there is to know about computers but I have to say that &quot;I don't know&quot; is one of my more popular answers...no one can ever tell me I am wrong.

Also, dont assume that just because someone works in retail that they are trying to skimp by and earn their $6/hour. I for example pull in $17/hour and earn stock options and bonuses for my departments performace. Not bad for a job to work while I'm in school. Go retail!! >>



I think you're contradicting yourself buddy. Ease up on my comments? But yet you discriminate against people who ask stupid questions? Oh c'mon give me a break man.

 

[PCHO]

<< You know I'm pretty sick of your stpuid comments.

Most people here on these boards, and offline get mad because you ask &quot;too many questions&quot; or maybe a stupid questions.

Then again, there arent any stupid questions right?

Just stop with the bullcrap you're giving me. it's ridiculous. It gets no where online. You're hiding behind a screen. It doesnt take much to keep hitting reply and typing to someone. I dont give a flying fart about you and your opinion. Now stop hitting the reply button because its so damn easy. >>



Im just hoping this venom wasnt spit in my direction.

Why what are you gonna do hop through your screen and punch my lights out?

ROFLROFLROFF!

The point of my first comment was that you walk in and find retail people frustrating to deal with, while myself on the other side of the fence find some customers frustrating to deal with.

I just didnt appreciate the general looking down the nose attitude people were posting with. A lot of people walk into a store like mine and think that because I'm sellin my wares to them that I am somewhow below them when in many cases I make more than they do.

Although I will concede that not everyone in my profession lives up to the higest standards for their quality of work.

CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS I REPEAT ALWAYS RIGHT. NO MATTER WHAT THE HELL YOU SAY, CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. JUST LIKE THERE IS NO SEX IN THE CHAMPAGINE (SP) ROOM. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS, I REPEAT ALWAYS RIGHT.

Heheh...suuure they are. Judging by your post you are either:

A) Very passionate about the customer being right <snicker>
B) Trying to figure out what that little light next to Caps Lock means
C) Dillusional
D) Around 16 years old (either physically or mentally, take your pick)

Oh and by the way...it is spelled Champagne. We retail peons carry around dictionaries to help us understand the big words that csutomers sometimes use that they didnt teach us in the Moron Academy.

<< If I really didn't know, I would say so, and if I only had a little clue, I'd still come across wishy-washy...I wouldn't flat out say [wannabe factual statement]. >>


More power to you ThisIsMatt.. not a lot of people would say &quot;I don't know.&quot; But maybe to the salesperson, in his mind.. Ultra is faster than G3.. cuz that's how a lot of video cards promoting their cards claiming it's faster things like that. I would have said &quot;because ultra is faster&quot; maybe it's time for me to read and catch up on the technology of video cards.

<< I could't care less. A lot of people on these boards laugh in my online face '-' >>


Exactly.. people are laughing or making comments behind a screen.. ( I thought this doesn't matter to you).. But you making a comment infront of the person. ( if you are pissed off now because it's behind a screen) then think about how the other person felt when you laughed at him

 

[Sugadaddy]

Salesmen being totally wrong happens all the time, and even if I know it, I either try to correct them or let it be. If you know more than the salesmen do, good for you. I'll probably laugh in my head, or come here and have a laugh about it afterwards, but I'd never laugh in someone's face. Doing that just makes you look 10 times dumber than the guy... If there were people around you, they surely weren't thinking &quot;look at that dumb salesmen who doesn't know the difference between a GF3 and a GF2&quot;, they're thinking &quot;look at that moron laughing at people&quot;.

BTW, do you even know why it's more expensive?

 

[PCHO]

Well I guess Nerd had nothing left to say so I'll leave off with this useful tidbit of insight.

&quot;if you ask a stupid question, expect a stupid answer.&quot;

 

[AnimeKnight]

<< damn I was laughing in this thread at first, but it was an old man? Come on that's just some sad sh!t, wtf are you gonna do next push a wheelchaired woman down a flight of stairs? >>


I guess there are a lot of anger within me.. I am picking on everyone no offense.. it's just not right even if he WASN'T an old man.. You still should not laugh at him.

 

[Mikal]

What a neat thing to discuss at 4 AM! Applause!!!!

 

[kami]

Nerd, you said you have a son? Well, you are one of the most immature people I've seen on here. I know 14 year olds on this board that are more respectable than some of the sh*t you just posted. :disgust:

 

[yobarman]

Hey man respect us retail workers. Not everyone knows everything about everything. Just because your hobby happens to be computers and you probably know more than him, you should laugh like a hyena in his face. I used to work at K-mart and I'd get some questions i didn't know the answer to...but i'd make up a lot of BS just because most K-mart customers are ugly fat people. (no offense to ugly fat people). If i respected my job i'd catch up on the info. on the other hand i did make a paltry 6.75..damn them! RETAIL SUCKS! NEVER GO INTO RETAIL! unless you make a lot of money and your job doesnt bite.

 

[Mday]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

 

[Mday]

i don't know what's funnier, the story or the fact that sugadaddy has a son =0

heheee, how old is he?

probably young because he did not laugh too.

 

[rudder]

Its not that I'm offended, its that I'm more thoughtful than most people. People that work retail are treated as the scum of the earth, like you just demonstrated, and don't deserve to be treated as such.

Well if someone lies to my face so they can take home a little bigger paycheck at the end of the week, I am going to treat them like the scum of the earth. I know not all stores operate on a commission basis so that does not apply to all salespeople. But if you work in retail it doesn't matter what you get paid. Consumers come into a store expecting to get the best deal for thier hard earned money. Some do not have time to research every product under the sun, so they rely on a salesperson. How many people got ripped off by the guy cause he did not take it upon himself to become more familiar with his product, even though that is his job.

 

[Mikal]

Hey, the folks at Best Buy like to tell you that they don't work on commission but they sure try to sell you those extended warranties! That wouldn't be because of spiffs, now would it?

 

[bigd480]

this isn't directed at you Nerd, but from some of the rant threads I've been reading lately, I think y'all need to get out from behind your comps and take a longer look at the real world...

1. Sales people do/will/should not know everything about every product they sell. Do you know everything about every aspect of your job? Did you always? If so, good for you, i'll PM you a cookie...

2. It's easy to pick on people from behind a screen... Would you call your boss a moron for using AOL, or laugh at an old man who didn't know a GF3 is the fastest card out? If so, that's pretty sad and/or stupid...

3. Clue: people couldn't care less how much computer knowledge you have unless you're going to build/troubleshoot theirs, so stop gloating about your &quot;technical superiority&quot;... If you're so knowledgeable you shouldn't need to ask sales reps anyway...

4.

<< Consumers come into a store expecting to get the best deal for thier hard earned money. Some do not have time to research every product under the sun, so they rely on a salesperson. >>

Sorry but that's just laziness... Consumers who are the least bit 'net savvy and still go to retail stores deserve to get &quot;ripped off&quot; because they're too lazy to do their own research when they know they can find it cheaper elsewhere... Guess what: sales people cost money... That is passed on to you in the form of higher prices... Either do your own research or deal with it...

~Clears throat...~ Uhrm...

Well if any of you folks would of happened to look back at Anandtechs own review of the Geforce3 you folks would notice that the benchmarks happen to show that in lower resolutions the Ultra is uhm.. well FASTER!... but then again who buys a Geforce 3 to play quake 3 and Serious Sam in 640X480.. heh... Also those were considered driver issues... ~strokes his Radeon~ but then again maybe it was just confused by all those big numbers?

hehehehe
(ok the strokeing the Radeon part there is a wee bit dirty sounding but i swear i ment the card!)

AND BACK THE FERK OFF OF PEOPLE WHO DO MENIAL STORE JOBS!
I happen to bag grocceries and chase down carts in the parkinglot of a local Supermarket part time, and i will tell you right out if you ask me.. i have no clue in hell where anything in that store is!..... and for $5.85 an hour im really not compeled to stay late and learn...

[Basse]

As long as there are uneducated clerks there will always be customers making fun of them.

I'm not one of those. I'd rather express my feeling that they should acquire some education on the products they're selling if I deem it neccessary.

/B

 

[guyver01]

HA! Shows what you know.. the Ultra IS faster than the G3... why?? Because it's more expensive... and everyone knows that more money is better. The best things in life are always quite expensive!!

 

[NoreagaCNN]

ROFL
Looks like nerd thought it was &quot;cool&quot; to diss out peeps who don't know much but instead he's the one that got played. You know something, at least that fu*king guy has a life and isn't posting on a msg board 24/7. WORD !!!!!!!!

[maxhunter]

Nerd,

I'd like you to know that I was that guy you laughed at. After you walked away, I went home and cried myself to sleep.

Only now do I know the difference between an Ultra and a GeForce3. Usually, I just make up an answer when the person looks as clueless as you did. I never thought I'd find out what you people really ask me all the stupid questions for. It's just a test I see now. I feel ashamed for my actions. Just guiding unwary consumers into buying the most expensive stuff just cause it is the most expensive. I'm going to go call all the customers who I sold Ultras to and give them a refund.

If CompUSA ever decides to pay me a living wage, I'll research the equipment first. But until then, they just pay me to wear a nametag and make up stuff as I go.

Humiliatedly yours,
CompUSA Balding Wage-slave

P.S. I just thought it would be funny to see the CompUSA dude's view -Max

 

[wolf550e]

compUSA pays $6/hour? dam i would like to live in the USA. but wait, the prices there are higher too (not for hardware, but for other stuff). anyway i'm a patriot of my country, but $6/hour minimal wage sound good...
