Did you guys have "those days" where the company leaders check out your store looking like "normal customers" when in fact they check if everything is clean. So the night before one of those days, you have to stay there until like 2 in the morning to clean every rack and get every spec of dust. After that I wanted to report child labor abuse, lol.

Hmm I guess you haven't been there, but Best Buy is now a better place to work. There's no more of those meetings.

Oh yah we don't do cycle counts anymore. BONUS: Best Buy will be getting ALPINE CAR STEREO!!! It's about freaking time.

hey hey hey....the only reason why you guys are getting alpine is because we (circuitcity) are gettin rid of it and picking up ecplise.

but both circuit city and bestbuy will probably make whoever buys the Tv(s) the warranty plan. and management will think somethings up when that employee buys more than 1 plasma or bigscreen.

I feel sorry that you work for CC Anyways, as long as you are smart about purchasing big price items you won't get caught. I've bought like 5 HDTV's last year.

Hahaha tell me about it, I worked like an insane 30 hours one time.. stayed all night (after an 8 hour shift) to put up the new plasma display.. maybe 10 hours.. then went home for an hour, opened the next day till early afternoon.

Never been so dead in my entire life, I got some insane overtime that week.
