Is it bad to go to a computer store

[Ricemarine]

If me and my friend go to a store, and criticize all the FREAKIN HIGH prices... Is it bad?

Cause we didn't get criticized in the 30-1 hr time we were in there...

ROFL, what was funny... was the salesman knew we wouldn't buy anything... So he played Counterstrike.

Edit #1: No, I did not criticize the freakin employees... Why else were they playing Counterstrike?

Edit #2: We were the only customers in the store.

If I must to to a B&M computer store, I always wear a Geeks.com or Newegg shirt.

One day if you own a buisness, you'll learn about overhead, and why retail stores have to charge more than online warehouses.

I do know...
Just that their prices were ridiculously high.

If you don't mind acting like a snotnosed brat in public, go right ahead.

Courtesy, good manners, and politeness are some of the signs of adulthood. Pointless rudness is childish and will make others take you less seriously.

I think it's perfectly fine, if you know what you're doing and realize they're charging way too much then tell them that and ask them for a break, they might be willing to do something.

No, I dont waste my time in computer stores hassling salesmen who are just working for a gigantic corporation and have no control over the prices.

Well would you consider a wire snipper is $30, 18 inch cat 5 is $13, round cable for $13, a radeon 9600SE for $139 high?

problem is people come to stores and hassle employees for breaks the cannot give, and get angry when they don't give them.

Don't be stupid, if you don't like the prices, don't buy anything. Its as simple as that.

yes, it's bad to go to a computer store to criticize them when you know you are going to.

why go in then?

 

[SketchMaster]

Like melchoir said, you have to make enough money to cover bills. Also the owner may not be able to get stuff at low prices that "XYZ computers" down the street can.

And yes it is VERY rude to walk around the store and mock them.

I bet he was imagining that the two guys in CS that he just blew away were you two.

the last is a bit high for a retail store, but everything else is fine for a retail store IMO

 

[melchoir]

Problem is people also don't realize that the prices they see online from mwave/newegg is dead cost, or less than the store's cost for a lot of smaller retail shops.

Its a ass-like thing to do, and as employees we just laugh at you guys once you leave, because we don't care.

How old are you you? (serious question)

I'm willing to bet somewhere in that early teen range where you become a know-it all and insist upon passive-agressively letting everyone know that you have some not-for-old-people-or-techno-clueless-people knowledge about something that's better suited to you and that everyone who prefers anything different is stupid.

Please try to act more adult in public.

wow... you have nothing better to do than go into a store knowing your not going to buy anything, and making stupid comments knowing the employees dont give a sh!t

 

[GoingUp]

i think its hilarious when uebernerds goto compusa and act like complete fanbois to show up some $8 an hour salesman. Really 1337 stuff. Don't have to worry about being busy on prom night.

Man, the area you live in? What a **** hole.

And the company you work for? Jeez they don't know what they are doing.

Your Pet? Man that thing is ugly!

Don't get me started on the Car you drive.

OH! I'm not making fun of YOU. Just the things around you.




Get it?

 

[Presence]

If thats what you consider fun go ahead! You might as well have been the load your mother should have swallowed though if you cant find anything better to do.

I get your point.

Like to point out. 4/5 things don't apply to me

It depends on how old you are.
