that was a pretty stupid question. but I can understand her walking in to best buy with an attitude. best buy isn't very woman-friendly.
when I was shopping for my first color printer.. lets see.. my daughter had just started 4th grade, and she's 19 now.. so this was '93 in the fall.. best buy still had 30 days no questions return for electronic stuff. I went in to buy printer, and I had several in mind I was considering (that were in my price range.. at the time, 450.00 (us) was my upper limit and that was going to get me a fairly low-end printer). so.. I wanted to compare the output of the three I was considering in person, to decide which would best suit me. the sales people were either unable or unwilling to show me what I needed to see (the same output from all 3). when I asked how I was supposed to make an intelligent decision without such, they suggested I send my husband in to make the purchase.
heh. that was a bad idea on their part. I said well.. if you can't show me the same output on all 3, I'll just take 'em home and do it myself.. I'll take this one and this one and this one. came home, played with 'em all for 3 weeks, picked the one I liked best and took the other 2 back.
couple three or 4 years later we lost a modem so I went to buy a new one, and I asked a simple question while I was making my decision and the sales guy again suggests I send my husband in to pick.. that time I got a manager over and told him why I was going to circuit city to buy my modem and swore I'd never set foot in best buy again. idle threat.. I live in south carolina.. we don't have all that many choices and I really don't like circuit city even more than I don't like best buy.
I don't ask them questions anymore, though.. heh.. that's why I'm here (among other places)! research! but.. if I wasn't here, and I needed to ask a question at best buy.. I probably would be wearing an attitude already before I said excuse me..
