I ran into the same thing , I needed to buy a couple cheap laptops for my office. The kid wasn't going to sell me the Toshiba Satellite that was advertised at $349.99 unless I paid an extra $100 for them to have the software installed with a warranty plan , virus software and some other crap. They actually told me they didn't have any in stock that were plain and didn't have the extra stuff installed , He tried to scare me and tell me that my information wouldn't be secure and that if I did any online banking that anyone could access that. I told him I wanted to buy the laptops to take them outside to smash them so I didn't need that (which is funny because apparently thats what people think they're made for lol ) Finally after calling Best Buy corporate and talking to a manager they sold them to me. This was the Best Buy in Las Vegas on Rainbow and 215. I've lost all respect for Best Buy for using this scare tactic to fuck over and upsell customers
