Personally I would have copulated with her in front of him.
Nice job of quoting there Moonbeam. Wish these other fvcktards could figure that out.

And, like gwai lo said, why not just go buy your shlt and leave? Why make the big production out of it? I thought it was only women who sought perpetual drama.

Every time a sales goon tries to SPEAK to me, unless I need an industrial strength cart to haul off a CRT or somthing, they get a nice chewing out. Somthing to the tune of "I know more than you, I WORK in this business, you DON'T, an <insert retail chain here> employee is a common retail sales floor tard with a few minutes of training in the company line, now leave me the fsck alone or no more of my customer's money will ever go into your pathetic little pocket."

Because bashing on computer retail goons is a sport.

We needed the dumbass to get tickets made up for the RAM and CPU so he just continued to spout nonsense while reiterating that we need to hurry up and leave.

Wow, you're a horrible asshole. It almost makes me wish you would get hit by a bus. A simple 'no thanks' would suffice. They're just doing their job by greeting you. Seriously.... enjoy your heart attack.

After your diatribe of wanting to burn the place to the ground it seems a little out of place to say that.
eh your life, have fun.

Some of the people who posted in this thread are complete asses. I work "a minimum wage job" at circuit city. I work in the technology department as well, and although I may not know everything about computers, I certainly know a lot more then a lot of people. Now I can respect someone if they come in and know more then me about computers. I'll help them out where I can, but let them make their own decisions. For Eyewing to say what he just said makes me wish the worst pain on him.


Some guys may not know what they're talking about, but some certainly do. This job may not be the most glamorous, (sp?) but it puts me through school, so you can just shove it.

Fry's people are an acception to others. Best Buy, Circuit City and CompUSA employees are ok. Fry's employees wearing their little clip on ties are a different animal. An animal that should be hunted for sport. I'm getting angry again just thinking about them. They ALWAYS bother you, they don't sh!t about anything, they can't FIND anything, but then when you need a ticket for an item, they're nowhere to be found, or they're off 'helping' someone else, even though they don't know know wtf they're talking about.

I hear ya, I work a near-minimum wage job at a liquor store. I understand the mentality of "The lights are getting turned off, get your crap and leave," but this guy was a Grade A jackass. He even knew it and apologized multiple times for "being an ass" (his exact words), but still tried pounding away to get us to take the more expensive stuff. This was by far the absolute worst experience I've had with a retail employee, and that's saying a lot considering the people I work with, let alone Fry's and Best Buy.

thats weird, the rare occasion i buy something at fry's, i pay it then leave. I look at the guy checking receipts, then look away. they never bother me, and i believe its illegal for them to stop you to check your receipt if they do not have an just reason or suspicions.

They check receipts at Best Buy all the time too.

the only time they check me at best buy is if i've got something not in a bag or if the alarm goes off. on the other hand compusa checks all outgoing customers.

Wait, the Fry's guy asked out your girlfriend AND questioned MDE's computer knowledge? That's crazy.

Some day I'll reap my horrible, sweet vengeance on Fry's. It'll be like the Matrix, I'll walk in, draped in a trench coat, carrying a plastic bag. The drone at the door with the marker will say, "Do you have something to return?" And I'll say "Return this." Anyways, 10 minutes later I'm walking away from the rubble of the store, drenching in blood, the smell of gun powder heavy in the air. And I'll look out at the sign in the parking lot, point at it dramatically and say, "This isn't over!"

I hate Fry's with the passion of a thousand suns. Their 'advice' cost me hundreds of dollars and HOURS in their damn return lines. I love how they shout "Customer service" to get a manager to come ok the returns. It's just ironic, because there's no customer service in Fry's at all. Then they open up the item to ensure that everything's there, but there's no list of what should be there, so they ask me, "What was in here?" Then they issue me a piece of paper that's good for a refund. They couldn't possibly give refunds out there, no no, you must take your piece of paper, which they repeatedly tell you "not to lose, it's just like money," over to the check out line. There you wait in another cattle chute, but this one is lined with candy and crappy impulse buy items, a last ditch effort to keep your money. So then you get up to the director of the cattle chute, and he tells you which blinking light to go to. This is his job. He watches for a light to blink, and sends someone there. This man is obviously vital to each and every one of our survivals. I arrive at the counter, the end is in sight, but wait, who's this grinning african fellow? Why can't I understand what he's saying? Why does his nametag say "Haabeeb Ajeeb?" He wants to know where my purchase is. I tell him it's back at the return counter. He starts towards the return counter, but I stop him, obviously my sarcasm was lost. Haabeeb get's the manager, who tells him to give me money. He looks at her and asks how much. Eventually I get past Haabeeb, I actually have money in my hand, this is incredible. I'm moving towards the door, passing all the other poor souls who are no doubt dealing with "Mafard Retard" and "Rajou Apoo." Then she steps in my way, a human wall of blubber, wearing an obnoxious red blazer. She's blocking the door, although I wouldn't put it past her to block the sun. She deftly asks me where my reciept is. I tell her I have no reciept. She says I need a receipt. I ask her what I need a receipt for. She says to prove I purchased my merchandise. I say, what merchandise. She says, sir, where is your merchandise? Finally I tell her that I've returned something, and gotten my money back. I ask if she wants to see the money to make sure it's all there. She seems to consider it before realizing that I hate her with the passion of a thousand suns. Then I leave. I induce torque steer in the parking lot in the Acura. It's not very satisfying, and I think, why did I cheap out? Then I take a final look at the Fry's sign, as I pull onto the on-ramp, because the planners decided that the parking lot should exit directly onto an on-ramp for highway 635. This is a place where your 0-60 time really matters. It might save your life. So I look at the sign, and I say, "This isn't over."

8/10 :thumbsup: :beer:

I know it's rude but the Fry's? experience is so horrible I don't let them check my receipt, I walk right by. About a third of the time they confront me on it, I just reply FU and that's about it. It's like therapy for me, although that single door drone probably doesn't deserve all my pent up Fry's? frustrations.

It's all fun and games until they call the police and tell them you were shoplifting. ;)
