Do you play with the computers at night when the store is closed and you finish sweeping the floors and mopping out the bathrooms after you'd cleaned out the shit-filled toilets?

Do they just call you a janitor or a sanitation engineer as your official job position?

Do people in your position still get an employee discount?

I prepare sandwiches and drop shit into a fryer. I've learned more about cooking living at home than I ever would've at that shithole.

>>53909724
I think the worst thing I've ever done is somebody ordered a tendercrisp like a few minutes before close. I put a fresh one down and when it came up I ended up dropping it and it touched the floor for half a second before I grabbed it. That shit takes like six minutes to cook so I wasn't about to waste it.

Best Buy does have tech recycles, right? Are you allowed to take shit from that? Do you guys use old recycled parts in your tech bench sometimes to upsell shit cheaply that you otherwise wouldn't get? e.g. ram upgrade for old machine - $10
>>
>>53909923

Too bad project team is getting cut in may :^)

>>53910019

Depends on the manager. My DCI (I work in a smaller store) is totally loyal to employees loyal to him, and he's fought for me numerous times (not as in, "I'm a lazy shit that he's held onto because we're bffs," but rather "he's always gotten me the most hours and he got me a sickass promotion and a substantial pay raise in a short time because I asked "Jump how high?," went beyond goals and demonstrated leadership). The GMs aren't going to give a flying fuck about certs and won't help pay or anything, but if you're not dicking around in the back of the precinct and want to make your future by getting certs, they're not going to write you up for studying your Cisco or CompTiA certs.

>>53910136

Absolutely. I got hired on as geek squad (normally considered the "elite" of BBY) with 18 months of retail experience in a hardware store. Depends on how your interview goes, really. Just like any retail. Customer service is far more important than your tech knowledge, if your precinct is halfway decent they'll teach you that shit in a month or two.

>>53910147

MRI isn't that bad. For consumer electronics it's about as good as you're gonna get; half the tools are bullshit, but the other half catch most of the shit you need because clients are mostly older retards that fall prey to the commonest rootkits and malware. Manual removals are the most important part, and if you know anything about tech you know google fu. And when in doubt, restore the bitch :^)

>>53910236

The fine bitches are basic as hell. Not worth the effort, unfortunately they work in customer service which makes GS a difficult job to maintain focus on sometimes.

I used to work in a supermarket in a temp contact for a few months to pass the time over the summer and I was working on the hot food counter.

He used excuses like "dat otha gey let me has it befo" and bullshit like that. It really pissed me off.

Not op here, I used to work for best buy. One day I had a customer from japan coming in to buy a laptop. I talked a little about my intro to Japanese class and showed off some skills. I also told her about a ramen place she didn't know about so that was exciting to her. I sold her the laptop and gave her the info for the ramen place and sent her on. She came back to get the address an hour later and ask me to go with her sometime. I said maybe but I didn't cause I had a gf. Then a few days later she came in to try and get my help for her laptop and I sent her the precinct because that shit was brand new. They turned her away and I was like wtf. Turns out she somehow locked the bios and "forgot" the password. She asked me to come to Starbucks later and gave me her number. I couldn't fix that shit but I went anyway.

After a while of tying and failing to fix it I gave up and we left.

A month later my gf and I broke up and I called her to take her out to eat ramen. We ended up going on a few dates and we fucked a few times. It was nice.

He's there to watch you and make sure you're not bringing in or taking anything out that you shouldn't be. It's his job to assuming everyone is out to scam & rob the store. He hates his job and his life, but he's forced to smile at you while assuming you're up to no good.

>Why do you only have one decent monitor?
Subjective taste & people often don't want the one decent monitor.

>Why do you not carry Samsung SSDs, all you have is Kingston and old shitty Intel's?
I'll give you a hint, remember the big mess when everyone found out Intel was paying OEMs to not sell AMD products?

>Why do you not carry unlocked phones?
See above answer. If carriers compete it means they have to sweeten their deals, which means they milk you for less money. Better to force you into picking a side and making a contract instead.

>Why do you separate mechanical keyboards and GPUs from the rest of the computer hardware?
Because they don't sell as well as other hardware and don't need to be restocked as often.

>Why is the one guy who knows anything never the sales person, he's always the guy moving boxes or something?
He's smart enough to stay out of customer service. Also competence and people skills don't go hand in hand. The moment someone with both skills shows up he'll be fired.

>Why do managers get do assblasted over price matching, it's not like I'm taking HIS tv, why the he'll do they care?
>Shit rolls downhill. Manager reports to the district manager, who reports further up the ladder. Some idiot up there gets butt flustered that the manager price matched and forgets the alternative is losing the sale. He bitches at EVERYONE. Phone calls, paperwork, corporate koolaid, all because the manager had to honor a corporate policy. It's like the marines where if you screw up everyone gets punished - only you get punished for doing what you're told. I shit you not, this is how corporations work.

>Why do you carry GARBAGE power supplies at best and none at worst?
When everyone is convinced a power supply has a shelf life of a year they'll buy one every year. In reality, they buy whatever they can get a good deal on and brand quality isn't relevant.

>Why have you not burned the building down yet?
Apart from the boxes things come in there is almost nothing flammable stacked with the kind of density needed to make a serious fire.

>he thinks the grueling soul sucking ass kissing climb to corporate from store employee is worth it

you get paid less, work more and put up with infinitely more shit than some one hired with a college degree/experience

The propper way to do that is work for a company for a few years in the same possition, then apply to other companies for a possition higher and then be good at interviewing.

Working your way up in one company from retail is NOT worth it unless you get lucky

>>53910019
Do you work in sales, because the front end of geek squad is a joke show.

In the back where the actual computer fixing goes on, you do need certs, surely?

I do this, I will not disclose where I work because I know half my co workers and boss shit post on 4chan.

Best thing I ever got was an ultrabook with no hdd. Guessing the richfag shit that owned it before fucked it up with malware, but removed the hdd in advance of recycling it because of muh data and then decided it was worthless. (tricks on him, the malware he shitted his pc up with leaked all his data long in advance of that im sure.)

MSRP on the ultrabook was 1200 bucks.

You're better off doing this at wal mart with other parts, and then selling them and buying the thing you actually want legit.

I tried that, and I also tried removing the cmos battery, but that apparently doesn't work on some of the newer laptops. She "figured it out" though. It made for a good reason to give me her # though. She was smart haha.

CA here, fop is basically, help me with my email. The only time that i have to send stuff to the back is when it needs scans or needs repair installs. I manage to get most of the crap fixed in 10 minutes. What really pisses me off is ARAs who dont leave fucking notes

>>53909471
When are you going to get a different job?
>>
>>53920117
no certs needed, you take a metric ass load of online classes though. You essentially get A+ certified from all of those classes. A lot of it though is be competent and be willing to learn.

>>53920493

2) do you meet your daily goals
3) what is your pay
4) Did you complete your elearnings?
5) Did you go to sales induction, if so where?

I managed to get some shitty skullcandy in-ears for free off bestbuy with the sandisk clip just because the packaging for the sandisk was worn out, so surely you're not all that strict

then again I was probably doing you a favour for removing that shitty skullcandy off storage
>>
Considering on getting a job at one of these.

Is there any kind of mandatory bullshit meetings or retreats/bootcamps for the employees to take once in awhile? I hate when they push employees into shit like that.
