I know people at Amazon. In fact not counting waitstaff at bars I frequent I probably know more people working for Amazon than any other retail business. As global commerce has enabled consumers business relationships have lost value. You know longer need to “know a guy” to get the best deal. In the long run it’s good for consumers, though it does mean we never get our butts kissed anymore. As an anti-social person I’m totally cool with that, I prefer to get in, get my stuff and get out without having to learn anybody’s name.

I have yet to find a BB employee that knows anything. I think most would have to think REAL hard to give me their own name.

Back when I used to go there, I was mistaken for an employee every time I went there. What’s worse is that I was more helpful, apparently I even had people thank me for helping them. One even told me I was the most helpful employee she ever met! LOL

Sorry, but BB is a no go area for the packrat!

Yep they are always pushing their Monster cables on uninformed newbies for $39.99 and up. The same cables that cost less than $10 most anywhere ele and less than $5.00 online.

And don’t get me started on the magazine subscriptions and extended warranties they pushed on you at checkout making their checks out the slowest in the history of retail!
