Richie! Can I call you dick? yes? well then, I’m going to….excellent.
Now, we’ve got some things to discuss. First of, I’ve been researching your company on Wikipedia. And I noticed your roots were as a music store? Wonderful! Well, in 1983 after a tornado destroyed your store and you had a big sale, you renamed it Best Buy! I still maintain you should have called it “Tornado of shit”. Well Dick, that tornado was the birth of Steven Austin Weiss, which is about to strike again. (i have been called a world destructor galore according to MagicScallions.com)
I’m also going to come right out and say that Wiki gave me a warning that the Neutrality and Factual Accuracy of that entry was questioned. Have you been sending lackies in to hype up your image on the Wiki? That shit’s not gonna work dick, its user policed! YEAH, How You Like That, Bitch!
I’m also noticing that you have a 69% employee turnover rate, way above an average 44-50% for retail. Well, I’m telling you homes, I can see why. Your store sucks. Besides your shady business practices of not honoring pre-orders for PS3’s and Various unauthorized packages for Xbox360’s, we’re here to talk about something else.
Is it really so hard to put your new releases and music DVD’s in alphabetical order? I know you do not have high standards for your employees, because you probably pay them as little as you can, but the alphabet is a fairly standard system to learn.
Oh, you also sent out fake ass cease and desist letters threatening various blogs which posted your holiday price list. Fuck you for doing that.
All I’m saying is that when I enter your store, holding a fire extinguisher, spraying everything in sight and yelling “Yeah bitch, now I’ll bet you’re happy you paid for the extended service plan!” just dont be upset, because you had it coming to you.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and God Bless America
sincerely,
Steven Austin Weiss
Best Buy does treat their low-level employees pretty shittily (I knew at least 4 people who worked there), but they do dangle a nice employee discount. Best Buy does resemble Wal-Mart a bit, but at least I don’t think they destroyed generations of mom and pop electronics shops. I’m still guilty of going there if I need faster than the speed of the Internet.
