“I’ve often found that doing the opposite of what a Best Buy employee recommends is the better decision to make.”
Thats assuming that I would ask a Best Buy employee any question other than “Wheres the restroom?”
This is true. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever asked a BB employ a technical question. Though I do some people that have. I know a guy that asked a BB employee what he would need to buy to setup a networked printer. He ended up walking out of the store with around $550 worth of hardware, most of which he obviously didn't need. I spoke with him afterward, and set him straight. He ended up taking most of the stuff back.
But then they come and stand in your way and offer to "help" you. OTOH, the store is so poorly laid out that it IS often quicker to ask "Where have you hidden the USB thumb drives?"
