I got a call about 10 minutes ago telling me not to come in today. This is why:

Only one individual was hurt. The car knocked him against the counter. He was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.

Why would we flame you for working at BB?

It's a fucking job.

I'll flame you for being timid about it.

man up, son.

It seems like it happens whenever I mention where I work. I don't care if anybody flames me our not. This is a serious thread so I requested not to be. I don't care what anybody thinks about my employer, I'm grateful for my job.

Yeah, I'm not going to flame someone for having a job. I flame people who need to get a job. Like that greedostick fellow.

Judging by your thread title, no one should take this thread too seriously.

This is pretty hilarious, actually.


And work is work. But I doubt people are really criticizing your profession - they're just taking their frustrations out on you. Which is unfair.

I hate BB myself, but I know people are only doing their job.

Yeah, my thread title is full of sarcasm. I use sarcasm alot and I find it hard to translate to text. I wasn't trying to be funny with the title.

I feel bad for the Loss Prevention department. There needs to be 1 person from loss prevention at the store during all times in which the store is not secure, locked up, etc. They will be working all-nighters until this is repaired. Most other employees get a "holiday" from this.

A friend of mine used to be an assistant manager for Future Shop in Canada (future shop is pretty much Best Buy, but the employees make commish).

He had to do this once in a while when there was work being done by a third party in the store off hours (fixing plumbing, etc).

He invited me over with some other people and we just played games and watched movies on a gigantic tv all night.

Not a bad way to pass the time, but after three hours of being in the store, I wanted to kill myself. These big box type stores, where you are just being yelled at by all of the advertizing, are just depressing.

And the smell of carpet.

It explains why most Future Shop/BB employees I've dealt with are jaded.

I once walked in looking to buy a dishwasher (cash literally in hand) and - I'm not going to lie - I was looking a little scruffy (full beard, long hair) but had good clothes on - and the sales person just did not seem interested in making easy money.

I ended up going to the Sears in the Serbian neighbourhood and got a pretty sweet deal instead.

Is this the new drive-thru return idea they've been test marketing in select areas?

Has a few kinks to be worked out still.

Glad the guy who got sent to the hospital is ok, I wouldn't hold it against him if he went after that lady with everything

This is the day I'd ask to come in to work. Chill in the back, raid the fridge, direct customer traffic. Would be easier than actually having to deal with the returns at the counter.

Lexus, huh? There's a Toyota brakes joke in here somewhere.

The driver said her accelerator was stuck. I'm not sure if her model was affected by the faulty parts that were recalled though.

She was elderly, so she could have just gotten confused. Either way. I can't stand the majority of elderly people that drive.
