I had a redneck ask me how much horsepower a laptop had..

I worked at Best Buy for over four years in Best Buy Mobile when it was considered a "Store within a store". There was a ton of favoritism there. I was the number 1 associate in profit, and GSBT attach rate in mobile in the district. Very often, I would clutch number 1 associate in the company.

I have seen some crazy shit there, for example: transferring media on porn star's mobiles, meeting a ton of celebs (baseball players, rappers, and country singers - I worked at two locations one being near Nashville, TN :D)

I was also called a racist and my general manager was black so I was forced to do a job I wasn't comfortable with. There with a guy who would scout local college campuses and pay students 100-200$ per phone to open new cell phone lines on a family plan. The students would get 3 lines, always the "free" iphones, and then never pay for the plan. They sell the phones to the guy who scouted them for some quick easy cash. I would refuse to service these students when they walked in the scam artist. When I refused he called me racist and my manager made me service them, although it hurts the company in the backend.

My questions for you would be:

1) Is there favoritism at your store, and how do you deal with it? (At my old store, managers dated or hung out with people that worked under them and then they end up getting promotions.) I understand it is against "HR" policy but when contacting HR they don't act.

2) What is the craziest customer you had in a store and howl were they handled?

Free advice: I turned down an internship with a large comapny to work for Best Buy full time because I thought the money was better at best buy. Don't be afraid to take chances, I took the second internship offer I had with a different company and while it was an initial paycut, I got a ton of experience and it landed me a full time career with the company I am with today as a Systems Engineer. Good luck friend.

When I was in college, I had a roommate that was obsessed with his hamster. He loved that little ball of fur so much. He would always come home with random attachments and tubes for the cage. He never closed his bedroom door and mounted the tubes on next to the ceiling. He had it go from his room, all around our living room and back in his room.

What is the most elaborate hamster set up you have ever seen?

In contrast, what was the worst hamster scenario you have saved a little furball from?

How can i find out if my congressman has voted on it?

My fiance has claimed you're her best friend. Where do we send the wedding invitation?
