Best Buy Sucks

Here is a short list of things I don’t want to do at Best Buy:

  • Give out my telephone number when buying headphones (I memorized their own phone number before going in, just to screw with them. The cashier didn’t notice.)
  • Repeatedly decline the aggresive cashier’s offer of a service plan for my $20 headphones.
  • Decline a subscription to Sports Illustrated and/or Entertainment Weekly.
  • Shake hands with the employee that insisted on helping me pick out my $20 headphones.

Seriously, why do the Best Buy employees introduce themselves to me and make me shake their hand? What Dale-Carnegie-ripoff class did Best Buy send these people to?

Why would I want to pay for a service plan on $20 headphones? I spend more than $20 for a glass of scotch.

And if I wanted a subscription to a worthless magazine, I would have one already.

Please, Best Buy, I just want to get in, get out, and get on to more important things. Like tacos.
