I have tried to call Best Buy three times in the past hour. I have gotten as far as "To speak to a sales representative, press 3". After that, the phone just rings and rings; none of the geniuses there bothers to answer it. That store becomes more and more useless to me everytime I try to do anything with them, and frankly I am very tired of it.

I tried again about 15 minutes ago and got through. I told the person on the other end what I wanted and got redirected. The phone rang 11 times before the same woman picked up and redirected me to someone else, who answered after only 8 rings. He apologized and explained that the store is very busy tonight, could I call again in a few minutes? I apologized and said my next call would be to Circuit City and hung up.

A quick check online found two reviews written about this particular Best Buy; both were quite negative. There will be a third such review added later tonight.

I hope you don't mean "everyone", because "I" certainly do not fall into that category.

Yep, that's right, that's how I make my monies, selling electronics to the masses.

Don't worry I am not offended or anything, because I too have dealt with sales people who are not as courteous and attentive as I try to be on a daily bases.

Besides, any self-respecting D&D player wouldn't think they're God until they hit at *least* level 20+... Hey I was a level 20 Druid once (this was Basic), and *that's* hard.

I'm game.

Try playing a druid sometime; good power selection, plus an in-game excuse to rant about the enviroment. Fun for everyone... 'cept the other players and the DM.

Oh, I'm heading up to Best Buy in a few minutes. This may get interesting.

What happened is that I got the RAM card I wanted and an apology from the store manager for the way I was treated. Am I satisfied? For the moment... until it happens again. And it will.
