That, my friend, is Murphy's law.

It is because Intel has some sort of deal with Best Buy where it is better for us to sell Intel stuff. We do have some A10's and FX's, but nothing to get excited over.

And with mobile devices, yes, phones are a really big revenue source, thus more space. In our store, the computer department actually tends to go way over our sales goals more than any other department. Honestly, if I had a choice, I'd take out appliances and make Build-A-PC area. Like Build-A-Bear, but with desktops!

"Do you think this computer would be good for Skype? I have my bride coming in from Russia soon, and I want to be able to video chat with her."

I'm not kidding...

Well, we get a bunch of people in all the time that have the whole "these people work at best buy, they don't know anything about computers" idea in their head. So i get people questioning me all the time. One time in particular however there was a woman that came in and wanted a high end gaming laptop for her son for his birthday and she came in with a list of games and settings he wanted to play them at. (all of them just said "ultra") Anyway, I told her for the things he is wanting to play, she would need a gaming laptop for a bit over $1000. she said that it wouldn't be necessary, and that he'll only play games on it, so it doesn't need to be powerful. There was a bit of back-and-forthing, telling me that I'm trying to rip her off and sell her more than she needs. defeated, I let her get the $300 laptop she was dead set on. She came back in a few days later and the manager called me over saying I sold the wrong computer to her, and that it can't play the games. I explained the situation to him and we returned the computer after a lot of yelling and accusing us of crippling the computer because she wouldn't spend more money. She left eventually and we haven't seen her since.

Totally! We'll also match this pair of dollar store headphones to these Bose headphones for you too!
