Nothing is priced under what the normal employee discount has always been so if you are like me and always had a friend working there to buy your shit there isn't a reason to go. Not one damn reason.

CC doesnt work on commission, but their sales staff gets a kicker from hitting numbers. the old CEO that was there made the call to cut back on staff, so they killed the top 50% of sales staff and then took away the kicker. the service there went to shit in no time flat. they were rude and difficult to talk to. i stopped buying anything there.

ten percent off on their shitty prices, and a giant line
walked out after about fifteen minutes

Hell yeah, gotta love FRYS. Although the customer service sucks, but if you know what you need then you do allright!

The reality is most of those people probably don't have the cash for anything right now and just put themselves more in dept. Wonder how much that TV cost after paying off the balance on their 15%+ APR CC?

Got tired of CC. No more thread about CC please.

Hell, they might have a few items I wouldn?t have otherwise bought if the price were right. I went over to the closest store in Burbank, found the place to be mobbed, it was impossible to park, most of the good stuff was already gone, and the lines at the register stretched to the back of the store.

I said, ?Fuck it? and left.

So, I decided to check another store out in LA and there was a line out the door so fucking long, you would have thought Led Zeppelin had reunited! The crowd reminded me of the cast of ?Idiocrasy?.

Fuck that shit, I just drove on.

Here is the kicker, here are the big ?savings?:

1. 10% on most everything.
2. 20% on CDs and DVDs (all the good ones were gone)
3. 30% on the already overprices cables.

Meaning, if you spent 100$ on a new DVD player ? you?d save a whopping 10 bucks. Like 2 bucks on a CD? Unless you are having a whopping HDMI shortage at your house, this sale is basically worthless!

Do you really need to spend 4 hours to save 10 bucks? Is your time worth $2.50$ an hour?

Mine isn?t.

Viva BestBuy!

It was just a new marketing campaign., I bet you their next campaign will be...We were bailed out by the people so we are back in business Sale.

It's all mental, everyone thinks they are getting a bargain, when they aren't.

bdld · 01-19-2009, 07:39 PM

like it was previously stated, the real big discounts will come at the very end, by then nothing good will be left.

tony286 · 01-19-2009, 07:42 PM

In NYC on time square you had stores with lost our lease sales going on for decades. Went with my dad once, he pointed to a store with a lost our lease sale sign. He said they had that sign in the window when I was a boy. lol

Hazlewood · 01-19-2009, 07:49 PM

people who do whatever it takes to save are very annoying. To see people slave their lives just to save money is bullshit. It also makes them less attractive in my eyes.

I understand not spending money stupidly but to go overboard and lineup for any duration of time over 15 minutes to save 10 bucks is ridiculous.

I walked in, but didn't feel like fighting through 1,000 clowns trying to save 3 bucks on a DVD.

dyna mo · 01-19-2009, 09:48 PM

same thing with the meryvn's

tony286 · 01-19-2009, 09:55 PM
