I worked at Future Shop when I got out of college. There were 2 parts that really sucked. First, the managers are nutbars. The catch phrases and chanting in the mornings was crazy. Second was selling the stupid extended warranty. I knew it was a ripoff, but I would only make $10 selling an entire computer, and would get $80 by selling the warranty. I once managed to get $4000 of credit for an 18 year old kid and helped him spend every dime of it. My guess is he is either bankrupt or still paying it off 15 years later.
