WHy are there close to 7000 employees standing in the store with 2 of them at the checkout? Why are all the employees and I mean ALL, teenage ######bags?
They have all this technology yet they have these crappy greenscreen computers.
I am now a little more racist. WHITE PEOPLE SUCK! and I'm white.

When I read about displays being knocked over I lose a bit of sympathy. Too be honest I worked at the FutureShop when I graduated from college years ago, and there are always two sides to the story. Out of the 100 people that I would deal with in a day 75 of them were rude, pushy, stupid, trying to pull a con game, a glorious illustration of humanity. When I told them I couldn't help them and gave them a reason, (eg, sorry I'm not going to give you your money back on this laptop that you apparently dropped from the top of the Calgary Tower), they would react very much like it sounds like you did pushing over displays, yelling and screaming etc etc. Yes there are issues at any retail store where your paying your people minimum wage or a commission plan on the south side of selling meat door to door, but theres no reason to go into a store act like an ass and abuse somebody who's trying to do thier job. Turn it around, what would you feel like it some a%%hole showed up at your office and started screaming at you, or got in your face and threatened you or blew a spazz and pushed your desk over . . . hmmmm.
Anyways, I'm just venting because having gone through the whole retail experience I do have some sympathy for them.
To put it into perspective, the average guy that goes into a store and haggles for 3 hours on a 399 dollar computer should realize that the sales person is making $10 or $15 in commissions, and on top of the probably $1200.00 a month not in base salary but in draw you can figure out why they sometimes think that the customer is not always right.
Its two seperate things if your buying for price or service. If your looking for service don't go to a big box mover, you'll save yourself a headache, if your looking for the cheapest price, your going to have to go to a big box mover warts and all.
Just my two cents on a late Sat night.
