I just walk in with a tee shirt that says "Rossman :thumbsup: "

Some run, some just start to shake and weep.

They don't, they fired all the people on commision a while ago and replaced them with teenagers at 9 bucks an hour. They still threaten and force you to sell the warranty even though they give you no reward for it. I buy warranty for my expensive stuff like laptops, but I will never buy circuit city's or best buy's warranty, just pure crap.

I think Best Buy has some awesome warranties. From my experience it's always no questions asked if you have any problems. For laptops its nice too cause you can get new batteries every 6 months and keep your old ones.

I bet it was in stock till you mentioned you wouldn't be purchasing warranty. They probably have several of them in stock!

#1. Its 7-8 bucks an hour, and no were not all teenagers.
#2. Is definately not always crap either, i've used mine plenty of times. I just didnt want it this time :D

I can never get any help at CC no matter what I'm buying. I actually have to search for someone to run a register. Why can't they just have checkout lines like BB or....I don't know....EVERY OTHER FREAKIN' STORE????
