How Not To Get Laughed At When Shopping At Best Buy

We've all shopped there and I work there, so now what we need to cover is how not to get laughed at by the employees when you leave there. Now I know it may seem mean but I laugh and ridicule many customers who I deal with, but a lot of it is really ridiculous stuff. So what I'm going to do is cover the basic stuff that really should never happen.

Know Your Alphabet

I can not even begin to tell you the number of people who have "looked everywhere" for a DVD or CD, that I find in under 10 seconds. I know that I work there but there is no reason that you cant find a DVD when everything is alphabetized. I mean if you are looking for Knocked Up and there are 50 copies staring you in the face under the K's, you really shouldn't be asking for help.

Don't Ask For Help If Your Aren't Going To Take It

From time to time run into what I feel to be racial intolerance. I will be asked about a certain Rap CD and either know whether we have it or look it up on the computer. I've looked up countless numbers of Rap CD's with people and told them that we don't have it because the computer staring us both in the face that has all of our store numbers on it tells me that we don't; only to find these exact same people moments later with an African American employee asking about the exact same CD, as if the white boy doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to Rap CD's.

Realize That It's Our Job And We Know What We're Talking About

Following up on that last tip, I beg you to realize that people who work at Best Buy, work at Best Buy. We didn't wander off the street and put on a blue polo to look cool (trust me). I've stared at our DVD section so many times that I know what we have and don't have, but whenever I tell someone we don't have a movie without looking at the computer they look at me like I just dropped 40 kids in a New Mexican desert to fend for themselves for 40 days. People, there isn't a single person that works there that will tell we don't have something that we do, they are all so up there ass about making budget and other really gay company goals that they will find what you want and then try to sell you shit you don't need.

Unless The Employee Seems Generally Interested, Keep Things To Yourself

Here at Best Buy, we love to get your money but not your life story. If I'm selling you a PS3, please don't tell me about your most recent herpes outbreak or how your last PlayStation broke when your husband got drunk and mistook it for the car. Unless I ask you or share some of my own experiences, don't bring your personal life into it and for the love of Clive Owen, leave out all the disgusting shit. Besides, I'm just sharing my own life with you in a weak attempt to better sell the product and get more of your money.

These are just a few tips that can help you become a more ideal Best Buy costumer, I will soon have more for you to follow. Until then, take what I've said here today to heart and strive to not ask so many dumb questions.
