i went to buy a car stero for a beater i used to have. just wanted the cheapest cd player in the store. (within reason)

pioneer ... 110 bucks.

guy offers me a 3 year warrenty for 40 dollars.

"no thanks, i think i'm going to sell the car in less than a year, during which time its covered by the manufacturers warranty."

"well, the warranty is transferrable to the new owner."

"he's not going to buy my car or pay me anything extra because the cheap ass cd player has a 2 year warranty on it."

"are you sure?"

"dude, its almost half the price of the reciever, no, i don't want it."

"well i'm just going to staple it to your reciept in case you change your mind."








"get that shit off of my reciept."

So, since you've had good experiences, that means you're the informed consumer, and those who have had bad experiences are the uninformed ones?

what i wrote to jackleg in a PM:

but for people who arent computer literate, no price is too high. They just want their computer fixed. For people who know what they are doing and talking about, then geek squad is ridiculously overpriced. But the computer savvy people arent going to be coming to geek squad for help.

9/24/2007 2:20:03 PM

^^^so basically, you're saying it's ok to charge people whatever they will pay because they're too dumb to do anything about it.

I agree with that. but jesus, that doesn't mean you have to feel good about being the low level tech nerd that does the dirty work. Working at any retail place is a shit job. some shit jobs are better than others and you gotta do what you gotta do to get by. Just stop acting like working at BB is anything special. It's the same as working at Walmart.

^^I've contributed plenty. Hell, I think calling your dumb ass out on the bullshit you spew is contribution enough.

Nobody is acting like that. However the work environment at Best Buy is a lot better then Wal-Mart. Although a retail job is still just a retail job.

Yea that's a horrible justification for inflated prices. Sure you can blame the 'free market' and all but over 200 bucks for a windows install? What does that take with a slipstreamed CD? 1-2 hours? Only 5 minutes of that is actual configuration too.

That's like going up to a make-a-wish kid who wants to get laid before he dies and making him have sex with an 80 year old woman.

sorry man i do my sidework in whatever clothes or car i want. as for insurance, maybe. havent run into an instance where ive fucked someones shit up so bad that i wasnt willing to fix it out of pocket. but the rates arent as high as you think (unless you have unskilled people working on computers. given my aptitude, my rates really arent that high)

[Edited on September 24, 2007 at 2:33 PM. Reason : rates = insurance OR price]

9/24/2007 2:33:01 PM

are you comparing your 'side-work' to a multi-billion dollar corporation?

obviously you aren't going to have any over heard if you are working in your everyday clothes out of your parents basement. Not to mention you work alone as 'side-work'

also dont work in anyones basement, cant help it that i dont dress like a tool unless i have to. and this conversation is over, cause youre just a hateful little bestbuy worker and i not only own you in the corporate world, i'm about 3 days from being incorporated myself to do my "sidework"

I was just showing the rank of best buy when it comes to 'bigger' for him to compare.

^in the real-world, thats how every job pay scale works. You aren't going to get paid MORE than what the company is taking in....DUH! so unless you are a CEO/Founder, or have profit sharing, you are their little bitch.

So then why in the flying fuck are you sitting here defending it so hard? Jesus, I guess you are just easily excitable or something. You have this attitude that everything you use must be the best because you use it or everywhere you worked must be the best because you worked there. Christ, it's just a shitty ass job low level tech job. It's nothing special. Fucking give it a rest already.

9/24/2007 2:59:25 PM

EL OH EL...I never said ANYTHING about it being the best of the best. If you were confused when I said "best buy" I was just referring to the name of the company NOT that it really was the best buy.

I was discussing service plans vs homeowners insurance with Ambrosia. Jackleg over here thought he'd come in and troll some but instead got trolled.

I just brought in facts to counter the bullshit. You can make your own judgment about Best Buy with the facts instead of fiction.

Software licences and training are a pittance compared to payroll. which is where geek squad and companies like them make their money.
