I've seen it happen. Couldn't believe it, but she got a new PC.

Oh, btw, think twice about staying in a customer service profession.

I've seen it happen too. When an idiot tech is taken for a ride by a swift talking customer..


Also.. I work at best buy 4 hrs a week (for the discount). I have a 9-5 job for moolah.

Maybe if you had a real career, you wouldn't have to moonlight at Best Buy for the discount. ;)

Your stupidity amazes me.

Well it is either pay that or open up your own computer, and probably screw it over by you pulling something out when you shouldn't. Or just something dropping in to the case etc.

*hugs* Havn't you realized that I'm sending you all my worst customers yet? BTW, I suggest printing that list out and giving it to your customers. Some of them will appreciate it - others may learn from it. Others will need a swift kick in the nuts.

But will a BB tech carefully zip tie all my cables together?

Wife was watching me spend ~2 hours & bitching about all the zip ties & told me: "You know you really love it"

What the hell are you doing on Anandtech? I thought you were required to have a basic knowledge of hardware before creating an account here.

Yeah. We do zip tie cables back. (If you pay $20 to have your computer cleaned.)

You're working 4 hours a week only to get a discount, therefore your rant is nullified. Also, it seems that CS isn't your forte; maybe you should forego the discount and the aggravation?

1) When you computer/stereo/printer/whatever is fixed WE CALL YOU. STOP calling us 10x a DAY to find out if your sisters boyfriends moms friends cats owner's PRINTER is fixed yet. FSCK YOU!.

2) DON'T tell me your a 'tech'. I DONT CARE. It doesn't make me relate to you or any BULLCRAP. I KNOW your lying because if you're a tech, WHY are you paying me $35 to install RAM???

3) I DON'T care how important your pda, printer, pc, laptop is. It will get fixed JUST as fast. Want to yell about it? I'll make sure it takes 2x as long.

4) I DON'T care how much money you spend here. I do my best on EVERY computer. I WILL NOT make special circumstances unless you are NICE.

5) Show up with a good attitude and get 10x better service. I will bend over backward to do WHATEVER I can to make things right if your nice. Be a bitch, and I will make your life so difficult you wish you were never born.

6) I DON'T care who told you what on the phone. Your probably lying. If your not, then I have the final word anyway. If it gets replaced I SAY SO. NOT jimmy-bo-bob that you called three weeks ago.

7) Your warranty will NOT pay for an item 2x the cost of your original one. YOUR PAYING THE DIFFERENCE. Want to argue? HOW ABOUT WE DON'T REPLACE IT AT ALL!

8) We ARE NOT giving you a new PC. I cannot BELIEVE you expect that we will replace your 3 old old pc when your cd rom goes bad. SCREW YOU.


The End.

1) you should take your crappy job less seriously, leave it at the workplace, jesus.
2) The End

Is that the Best Buy equivalent of a happy ending?

I feel your pain, really don't even want to think about trying to fix folk's computers, etc who are completely clueless about them, & the type of customer @ BB would be a headache.
