CompUSA rant

[MrToilet]

Here's my latest incredibly super-awesome experience with this wonderful store:

I printed out the latest clearance/blowout list for my local store (Des Moines), and noticed that they had (2) PNY 7800 GTX video cards available for $129.98. Needless to say I drove down to the store and checked around, the cards were nowhere to be found.

I asked an employee to check the inventory, figured a worker had already bought them; nope, he said they were still available. He said he'd go check in back- 30 minutes later I hadn't seen him; I walked around, noticed him sitting in the customer service room drinking a soda. He saw me, rolled his eyes, and said "Oh sorry, yeah, we forgot to update our inventory, we don't have them anymore, those shouldn't even be on that clearance list." Then he went back to drinking his soda. WTF? Could he have come back and TOLD me something?!

Short version - I guess I've just had it with this store, prices suck, employees are terrible, customer service is even worse... I was just really bummed the video cards weren't available... *sad face*

/end rant

You actually believed what he told you?

Oh, and I thought this was going to be a rant about the toilets at CompUSA.

The employee purchased the video cards himself and went to ENJOY soda b/c now he is going to make some $$$ while reselling them on ebay.

The employee must be thanking you now....too bad, he didnt offer you soda though

Step by Step:

1. go to compusa.com website
2. 'Locations' tab at top
3. Click on the dot for your nearest store
4. "See this store's list of Blowout items" link
5. Get pissed, since none of the items are available!

Sweet! So how accurate is it? Semi local store says they have 2 projectors instock for $250 a piece. Might have to make the drive and take a gamble on them.
