I've never seen a more canoe-ish post that was actually legitimate than this one.

This was my last interaction with Best Buy. Word for word.

"Do you have a Best Buy credit Card?"
"No"
"Do you want a Best Buy credit Card?"
"No"
"Do you have a Best Buy rewards Card?"
"No"
"Do you want a Best Buy rewards Card?"
"No. I just want to pay for the ear buds and leave"
"OK. Do you need a bag?"
"No."

It took some self control not to cock slap the little berkeley when he asked me about the bag.

Which sounds like a good reason for some form of relationship - let BB be the retail branch, but Amazon be a separate online branch, but keep them legally far enough apart to skirt the tax laws*.

*at the risk of this thread degenerating into a polical tax discussion...

They're forced to ask all of these questions by management. Then the management wonders why people would rather buy online?!

Hmm, Click, Pay, Shipped to my door

Do you have our credit card? Would you like to sign up with one? There's a discount if you sign up for one! Do you have our rewards card? Would you like to sign up for one? Are you sure? Would you like an extended warranty? You know that piece of E36 M3 is gonna break, right? Would you like us to set that up for you? We can perform all of this magic that no one knows how to do but us! What do you mean "leave me alone, berkelytard"?

i was asked by the cashier at Best buy if i wanted the 3 year extended warranty on a Foo Fighters cd (Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace, if it's at all germain to the conversation) i was buying.. i asked her why in the hell i'd want to buy a warranty on a cd.. she didn't have an answer.. then she asked if i'd like to put that on my Best buy card, so i held up the $20 bill that was already in my hand.. then she asked for my zip code.. i said no.. she actually had to call over a manager to figure out what to do when i refused to give her my zip code- he told her to just put in the local zip code when he got there 3 or 4 minutes later.. i was ready to just drop the cd on the counter and walk out, but i wanted the cd and was enjoying the way i was holding up the line..
