That's awesome! Do you then direct them across town to speak to your manager who works at a different store altogether? [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

I don't have a BestBuy anywhere around, but the EB has gone almost entirely console. I haven't been in there for quite some time.
[/QUOTE]I love it when that happens especially if I have the same like color T-Shirt on. Then I help the customer like I was an employee and after I tell them I don't really work here but the service really sucks you often have to pick the brains of other customers. If the service is good in the store I will not tell them the service sucks.

I recently had a funny experience in WalMart were I stepped out of the electronic department and tried to use my cell phone. This employee comes chasing after me like I was stealing his kid. "You can't take any electronics out of the department". Starts giving me a lecture than after he finishes I say "Dude its only my cell phone." Everyone around cracks up laughing and the employee turns red. It was pretty funny but I think you would have to be there to see it.
