Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right
linuxwrangler writes "Best Buy is one of the retailers that has now decided that the customer is not always right. Best Buy consultant Larry Selden has identified "demon customers" like those who file for a rebate then return the item. OK, I get that one (hey Best Buy: dump those customer-despised rebates and you won't have that problem...). Other categories like customers who only buy during sales are more interesting. Best Buy declined comment on how they are dealing with those customers. Some stores have actually "fired" customers. Welcome to the end result of all that customer information data mining."
Maybe they could integrate with Google's spyware app Gmail ... a CustomerRank like a credit rating, but based on totally subjective criteria.

Still, more power to Best Buy if they want to start discriminating against customers. I'm sure it's really going to make an impact on their bottom line.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda stepped off the bus and was led into the yard of the Main
State Correctional Institute. He had been given ten years for participating in
a stock fraud. Five with good behavior. Years spent basking in the glow of a
CRT had been hard on him. His body was frail, his skin pallid. He knew he could
never make it through ten years in the general population with his virginity
intact. He had to get into solitary.
As soon as the burly guard unshackled him he made his move. Exhaling a feminine
"hmmph" he weakly slapped the guard. He was quickly taken to the ground,
receiving a swift kick to the ribs before being restrained. As he was dragged
to the solitary confinement cell he felt nothing but relief. "At least in
solitary," he thought "I'll be safe." Unfortunately for Rob he had picked the
wrong guard to mess with.
The next few days were uneventful. The time in his cell he spent evenly between
sleeping, reading a "Perl for Dummies" book he had gotten from the book cart,
and masturbating furiously. His self-flagellation was interrupted on the fourth
day. The burly guard he had attacked earlier stepped into his cell. The gleam
in the guards eye and the mean grin on his face made Rob's pecker quickly
shrivel in his hand. "You fucked with the wrong man when you fucked with
Michael Simms," said the guard. "The inmates here call me The Asshole for a
reason. Now come with me, punk."
The guard led him down the hall to one of several empty shower stalls. He
roughly threw Rob in the stall and locked the door. Rob was petrified. His mind
raced as he imagined the myriad of different tortures that could be in store
for him. His worst fears were confirmed when the guard returned. In his hands
were a short black dress, black stilleto heels, and a curly blonde wig. "Strip
down and put this on, bitch." Rob did as instructed and was pleased to notice
that the dress fit well and the heels gave him a nice slimming effect. The
burly guard admired the drag queen. "The GNAA is gonna love you!"
The guard left the shower stall, only to return minutes later. He opened the
door and led 20 large black men into the stall. "Rob, meet the Gay Nigger
Association of America. GNAA, meet Rob. I'm sure you all will get along fine."
With that the guard slammed the shower door closed and walked away laughing.
The men approached Rob, backing him into a corner. The apparent leader stepped
forward. "No matter what I'm gonna fuck that purdy lil' ass of yours. Now I can
fuck it dry or you can lube it up for me." Rob knew he had no choice. He
kneeled in front of the leader, who began to slap his face with his 10 black
inches. Puss from syphilictic sores quickly covered Rob's cheeks. When the
leader was sufficiently aroused he placed his throbbing cock up to Rob's lips.
As soon as Rob opened his mouth the leader violently shoved his manhood to the
back of Rob's throat and exclaimed "Swallow my shit you cracker bitch!" Rob
gagged as he was violently face fucked.
Just when he was about to pass out the leader pulled out, turned him around and
shoved his cock into Rob's ass. Rob began to scream in agony but his cries were
quickly muffled by one of the other gang member's cocks. They rode him like
that for the better part of an hour. When one man finished another quickly took
his place. Just as Rob was getting used to the throbbing pain in his anus the
men stopped. One man lay down on the floor and Rob was told to get on top of
him and take his dick inside him. Exhausted and humiliated, Rob had no will
left to fight. As soon as he inserted the penis another man came up behind him
and began to force his cock into Rob's already filled anus. Again his screams
of agony were muffled, this time by a smelly black anus.
For another hour he was violated in this way. When the men were finished with
him he couldn't walk and his mouth was filled with dingleberries and ass hairs.
In soviet Russia, you don't complain about best buy. BestBuy complains about YOU.
What??? I always thought that the bank people are filling the ATMs with money... and now I read that this is customers duty... well, thanks anyway to the unknown people that put their money in the ATM so that I can get it out...
Allow me to say: your website fucking sucks.
Seriously, take it offline. Fucking Christ on a pogo stick, TAKE IT OFFLINE. FOR THE GOOD OF THE INTARWEB!
Sure! tak@hickoryZZZZZtech.net minus sleeping
Now, I drive the extra 30 minutes to go to Fry's where no one bugs me until I ask a question.
One of the things that comes from living in a small town is that I don't waste time on the freeway. Here in beautiful Chico, CA we have Circuit City, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, Sears, Office Depot, Office Max, and WinCo all within about a mile of each other.
I would *never* drive another 30 minutes to get a few DVDs or a sound card!
The nearest Fry's is about 80 miles from my house, and I've been there twice - both times while visiting Sacramento for other reasons.
It amazes me how much time people waste on the freeways - I've heard that in many areas, a 1.5 hour commute is TYPICAL!
Geez. Armed with Internet Access and my Linux Laptop, I can work just about anywhere with squat for a commute. Almost makes me feel guilty just for having it so good....
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
You got asked a question by five diffrent people!! sad, poor you. None of those people could have know that you've already said no. It's not like they were really obnoxious with you. Lighten the fuck up.
/drunk
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
What race were the people who assaulted you?
Gimme a break here.
You goaded these employees into a fight. Even from your one-sided description of the events it's plainly obvious that you were inciting the employees to violence.
I don't think that Best Buy, or any retail store for that matter, benefits by having people verbally assault their employees.
Sure, the guy shouldn't have touched you, but what do you honestly expect? If you honestly expected to curse up a storm in the middle of the store without repurcussion, perhaps you're one of the customers that should be "fired".
Dude.
/. crowd as long as you are lying to Big Corporations, Republicans, Christians and Windows users.
Lying is perfectly fine with the
Wise up.
Karma means nothing to me, so suck it...
Fuck you!
Tell me where you live so I can come over and eat your liver!
Then, I'll sue you. For something.
