Idiots at PC Stores

my HD4870 "512" ran crysis on high with AAx2 very smoothly.

 

Yuh but theres a world of difference between high 2x AA and "Max"

 

You should of directed your forehead very quickly onto his nose, that would have cleared the issue up.

 

for epic lols come to Circuit City. While on the subject we may be liquidating soon =D.

 

Where's Shortcircuit City? :banana:

 

Just have to say that this is the best thread i was ever reading
here at Guru3d

 

I have to stamp this guys. Simply :


This should be in the first post, soo evryone knows its worth reading .

 

it's a very fail American electronics store. I believe they have a few in Canada called "The Source". I still cant wait for fry's electronics to hit new england.

 

I was a little pissed at Futureshop when asking for a thing beside a Clerk and they were like wth are u talking about *whats a TV Tuner Card???* Some random chick who was working the accessory wall eventually came over and grabbed it. The supposed other 3 who were working the PC Department were all ???? Was funny too I dumped 2K there the day before so the 3 that were following me were the same who saw me the day before.... I made sure the chick got the sales (commision)

 

wow
bad hiring

 

I had no idea that I was starting such a big thread. :nerd:

I guess the staffing problems at pc stores are much bigger than I thought.

You would think that if a person was going to work in a pc store, they would at least attempt to learn something about the business they are in. What happened to people having pride in their work? Maybe I'm old school, but if I were selling cars, I'd learn about cars. If I'm selling computers, I'd learn something about them. It isn't very complicated for the most part.

 

most stores dont pay commision now a days, it comes down to the people who actually know ****, and the few that have a sense of job integrity.

 

most people who know ****, can get better jobs. thats the problem.

 

That or they get frustrated when they realize how much those stores rip people off! FX5200 is still around $100 at best buy! That's crazy to me, and I would go nuts when people would buy stuff like that. I'd probably get fired for showing everyone newegg.com!

 

neweggs stuff costs about a third of the price than the stuff we got over here

 

Our prices ain't no good either...

 

we are selling the 8800 for 239USD, that's a ****in bargain huh?

 

Holy $#@*!!

And people are buying them at that price??

 

no, i convince them to pay the 200usd for a 4850, they are overpaying, but at least they are getting something for their money.

however i install car radios, so its only so often i help people in computers.

 

geez that sucks... dam... can you not like even mention to your manager that your just a little little bit over priced
