School is kool! Not really. It actually seems okay. so far. My New Testament Themes teacher is just a crazy wacky zany priest who is a big goof ball and seems like he will be pretty cool (if I can get past the jokes). My Senior seminar teacher seems like the kind of lady you would cast in a halloween-based film with a lot of cats living with her, but she is also cool. My Java teacher is an old dude who knows his stuff and I think will be good. And then theres Steele. Luckily, my buddy from BBY, joe is in that class (AI: Neural Networks) so it wont get a boring. Hyenas lost after being up in the first once again, but played fairly well. if you want me to start keeping my webcam more (at all?) be sure to let me know and i will, but I don't think anyone looks at it. I have been reading some fun literature on how best buy sucks at bestbuysux.org for the past hour, and it is hilarious. Most common complaints: 1) Won't take something back for a return. This is either because they have had it past the return period or don't have a receipt, which these 'complaintents' state in their complaint. Answer: life has rules and you should not be excluded from following them. Analogy: "Ms. Customer service rep, I know the return period is 30 days but its only been 35 days so i don't know why you wont take it back!" ~ "Officer, I know the speed limit was 30 but I was only going 35 so I don't know why you need to give me a ticket!" 2)Rebate late/never arrives. Rebates, first of all, are mainly done thru the manufacturer (didn't see any complaints about the actual best buy mail in rebates). This means, the Manufacturer tells best buy that they will honor an $x rebate on a product given set guidelines (include upc, etc.). So, best buy advertises this. Then people complain on an anti-best buy website about a manufacturer rebate, blaming best buy "they shouldn't advertise a rebate that isn't always given due to unforeseen circumstances". Also, they complain when they don't fill out the rebate right or they forget a upc or something and have to mail in the rebate again and have a problem getting the rebate back (the best was a guy who had filled out a rebate, then moved and the rebate was not forwarded to his new address, so he asked best buy for the money). Answer: Like #1, you need to follow rules and directions to get what you want and make sure your complaining to the right company. Analogy: "I bought a webcam from best buy and did not receive my rebate from the manufacturer so i want best buy to pay for it!" ~ "I filed my taxes but then got audited because i filled them out wrong and I want George Dubya Bush to write me a check!" (that was kinda lame) 3)Best buy is sold out of a new release CD/DVD on its release day Good for Best Buy! They got in a certin stock of an item, the quantity being usually the most allowed per store, properly displayed it creating interest in it and easy accessibility for purchase and sold all of the cd's they got it! Welcome to a successful business! Of course they're sold out bro. They get a limited number in stock and sell them. Supply and demand. If an artist/movie is popular enough, many people will want to buy it. Usually more than they can make by the release date. And why do these people gripe about "the sales-kid told me they get a truck on thurs so i call on thurs and they said they didn't get it, those bastards". If your so mad, why don't you call the head of distribution for Virgin Records and complain to him that they didn't produce enough CD's. Jesus, I'm sure the 18 year old that your bitching out a) is responsible for them not having it in and b) has the authority to override ordering limitations and cooperate production quantities. Answer: If we get it on the truck we'll sell it, and if we sell them all, you can't buy it. Analogy: "Why didn't you order enough CD's so that I could buy one after 8pm on the day it came out!" ~ "Why are you out of tickets to this movie that I wanted to see on opening day? You should have built more theaters in your movie complex so that when I came 5 mins before the movie started, I could see this little slice of cinematic genius!" Best Buy customers who complain about stuff like this are some of the best people there are. (Note that there were one or two stories that someone really did get shafted, but from a cooperate rules policy, BBY couldn't really do anything about and I do feel bad for those people, but sometimes in life, thats exactly what happens, joo get shafted good.) ahhhhh....I could go on and on, but I for you, my faithful readers sake, i will refrain.
