A few years ago when I was still trading futures I was running 4 22 inch monitors off a single Dell computer. My computer was trying to take a dump and rather than lose time and money waiting on a new one to be delivered I went to Best Buy. Told the salesman what I needed in tech terms and he assured me that a certain computer would fulfill my needs. I then asked if it doesn’t can I bring it back and get a full refund? Sure. Unpacked it and it wouldn’t run my monitors. Packed it back up and took it back, sure enough a restocking fee. I said that’s unacceptable and made them call the manager. After talking with the manager he refunded all my money and offered me a job because I knew more than even his tech guy. I said....that’s really sad and declined the job.
You got a job offer and didn’t know the computer you bought wouldn’t work?
ROtflmao!
Most Tech sales staff are taught to say “yes” when they don’t know something
“Will this run dual monitors?”
“Yes”
A friend has asked me to set up his office. I told him what to buy and he said “I don’t want to order it. I want to go to the store and walk out with it”. I told him “You don’t have a choice anymore. Computer stores are a thing of the past”. He thought we could just walk into a Gateway store and buy some desktops.
