You're 17, take what you can get.
Better than digging ditches, flipping burgers or washing cars.

I worked there for a couple of months as a computer salesman. I thought it was great at first . I was into computers years ago as a kid and getting that job there sparked my interest in computers again. I really got into them, leading to the self-built computer that I am now typing on. This was really just out of enthusiasm though, in truth you hardly need to know anything about them to work there and sell people computers. Your knowledge just needs to be a tiny step above the average jackass costumer. If you try to explain more they don't want to hear it because they don't understand.

So basically I walked around all day, getting asked constantly which computer is the one on sale in the flyer, or which is the cheapest computer/monitor you have. It's like they didn't understand that the price levels correlate with quality or peformance. That's the thing about Circuit City customers that I hate, they just want the cheapest sh1t you have and will take nothing less. The other questions I got were just so retarded they would get you bitchslapped if you asked them here. People don't want to learn anything about the computers, they just want to know, "Is this one good?" I hated having to get the people all of their sh1t like the "free" printers and "free" wireless routers and then having to explain the eight rebates that printed out. I also had a hard time selling the BS installation "packages" because I knew how much of a rip-off they really are. And I really hated is dealing with the fvcking scumbags who came into the store dirty and smelling like sh1t and having to be nice to them. That was horrible.

There were some good parts to working there though. It was really cool when I had a good day and had the most sales. I had $13,000 one day and the next closest person was at $8,000. The job also improved my people and communication skills, and also gave me the realization that I don't enjoy dealing with people because they are mostly jackasses.

At the end of the day though, I felt like Circuit City, and me working as their agent, were truly ripping customers off. I realized that the only reason B&M stores exist today are because there are still some idiots who don't realize online is the way to shop. I will probably not work in sales ever again.

I feel ya, man. I worked at Best Buy for 2 1/2 years doing computer sales and sometimes you really can't help but feel that you're ripping people off. We'd sell USB cables for $42.99 when the employee price for them is $2.50, which means the store probably buys them for $1.00 or so.

The one good thing about working in retail sales is the great stories you'll get out of it about insane/idiotic customers. Sometiemes you just wanna pimpslap them.

My all-time favorite dumb customer question is "Excuse me, do you work here?" Um, no. I'm just wearing this bright blue Best Buy shirt and nametag for kicks, dumbass. :roll:

Not completely true. Take bookstores for instance. They're still in biz, and everybody knows they can buy the book OL for a nice discount. Thing is, customers at a B&M can examine the product, measure it, look it over top to bottom, take it out of the box and see if it fits something else, check the picture and sound quality etc. - and they can take it home with them and use it immediately. They can learn a lot more about the product when it's in their hands at a B&M than they can OL. And they get imediate satisfaction from owning it right away.

And if it doesn't work, they can take it right back and get their money back, or a new one. Right away.
