Not Geek Squad though, I signed up for sales, guess I am no Daniel Casio :roll:
But seriously.... They didn't even ask for an interview, I know my knowledge was at least 2X as most of the applicants.... Seeing how most sales representatives don't know the difference between component and composite it wouldn't surprise me they were looking for tards.

It's the 45 minutes of ridiculous questions on the application (unless it's different in states other than Ohio, of course) that they use to "weed out" people they wouldn't want to hire. If you don't give the answers the system wants, the stores don't see the application at all.

Also, about the iPod, unless, again, it is different in Texas than it is in Ohio, Best Buy's lemon law states it has to be repaired 3 times, but not necessarily for the same thing. Any item that has 3 hardware repairs and requires a 4th is SUPPOSED to be "junked out" due to being a lemon. I had to explain millions of times that the item can be sent to service a million times if all they do is reload the software, reset the iPod, or simply say they can't duplicate the problem.

And, yes, I left the store because it was to the point of literally depressing me from being shit upon by so many customers every day. I understand you don't want to send your iPod out again, or you don't want to pay Geek Squad to backup your data, or you don't want your car stereo to go to service, but for fuck's sake, we don't make the policies. But, I suppose that's retail, and it's never going to change. We're the medium between clients and the manufacturers (or in most cases, the ones doing the manufacturer's repairs) so we're the ones that take the heat.

THAT is why I left the store. People WANT me to come to their house. Granted, I can't help but feel ashamed driving around in the "Geekmobile" sometimes.

I want to thank god I did not get a job at Best Buy. Web Dev FTW.

Lulz! They have the same application as CC yet I don't get a call from BB but do from CC, weird...
Also, the questions are confusing, such as:
If you were having a bad day would you not not take it out on someone. FFS WTF

Half I blame on Community College (why I'm saving money to get into a proper school), the other is the fact I really do feel myself becoming less intelligent as the time I spend working there passes. It kinda' scary when I think about it, people stay there not because the like it but because they become brain dead zombies from working there. :shocked:

I lied my ass off.

Well, I don't lie too much on those tests but I don't sound like A. an emo kid, or B. Raving Ravaging Ridiculous full-of-myself vain bitch.

When I worked IT at college, one of the IT guys would go through the entire My Pictures folder... kind of creepy .

 

[Ramma2]

What good will the porn monitoring software do, when they're dumping it to USB flash drives?

 

[DougK62]

Nice stories. I laughed real good at the second picture.

 

[Capt Caveman]

A 25 ton Bradley would have crushed the laptop and it would not be pretty.

 

[importdistributors]

HAHA

 

[xcript]

Thanks for the entertaining read. :thumbsup:

 

[AznAnarchy99]

LoL where did he drop the laptop that a Bradley ran over it..

 

[nick1985]

A Bradley isnt a tank.

 

[sdifox]

There is no way a Bradley drove over that laptop. 30tons (fine, 15t on one track) would flatten the thing.

Depends on the surface type I imagine

Even in the sand it will get more than 1 T of pressure.

 

[SketchMaster]

Baaah.

 

[everman]

Wow $4.70, looks like you can buy that 1.5 gallons of gas you always wanted

15t on the entire track.

Soft surface (like sand), and given that the laptop isn't exactly the same shape and size and the footprint of the track, so will have taken far less weight at any one time ( i can't believe i just typed that ), it doesn't seem so far fetched to me...

 

[DainBramaged]

Most excellent read, sir! :beer:
