i went up to the register to purchase a creative nomad zen extra. she rings it up, then all of a sudden she trys to get me to purchase the extended warrenty for it. i was like i dont want it, and she goes into the whole thing of why its good to get then she starts telling me that i cant replace the battery on the mp3 player and everything. im sitting there thinking in my head she needs to learn to read the box, right on the box it says removable battery, i final said no, she like why. i said i wont break it. then she tells me so more stuff.

not as exciting as the other story but it was my recent encounter with best buy.

That happens to me every time I go in. I bought a cell phone a few weeks back. Up to the register guy says that they have a warranty. I immediately say No Thanks. He says well before you say No, it covers.... Proceeds to rattle off a bunch of garbage on why I should spend another 50% of the price of the phone for the warranty.

I decided that the next time I go in there I'm going to tell him to stop talking and ring it up or I'm going to go to a different line or just flat out walk out of the store.

That's why you cut him off with the line I posted above. Be assertive.

I've never had them try a second time with me.
