My Best Buy Concern

It's no different if you go to McDonalds, Do you want to Upsize? would you like fries with that? Would you like to try our 2 for a dollar pastry? Heck even the post offices are asking you if you need envelopes or extra stamps. As for HDMI cables, I agree it can be purchased on line cheaper, so can a lot of things. It is your job no matter where you work to offer the necessary accessories or add ons that you recommend. because heck if you don't and they do need it they will buy it at the nearest location and would not make a trip back to where they made their main purchase. Again thats the nature of the business...RETAIL SALES...how many of you have purchased a car? Seen it advertised $20,000...you go in you look at it and all of a sudden you are spending $5000+ more, Why? Lets see you wanted that xm radio, remote start, the fancy wheels, the moon roof, the GPS, etc. GET THE PICTURE? Yet no one complains...that car salesperson for sure will be offering you extras....No one is in the business to loose money. DO YOU WORK FOR FREE?
When you purchase a HT system and you spend time and money you want to have the best HT experience and the necessary accessories to fullfill that experience. What is the famous cop out from a customer? No one told me so. Again it is your job to cover the bases and offer the neccesary add ons. It is the customers ultimate decision to buy or not to buy and at the end of the sale at least you know you did your job.
And yes I too work at BESTBUY 23+ years and counting.

Say No to the Auto Industry Beggars

When I first came to this country, even as a foreigner, I had allways purchased American made cars. I remember coming to the US for vacation in the early 70's and was always excited that I could buy American goods as it was a symbol of quality made products, today not so much and yet there are industries out there that would like to make quality products but cannot compete with the foreign companies. Even today as an American I still drive American cars (Ford/GM) sorry never had a Chrysler. I have watched the system allow foreign cars to be imported over the years and had no issue with having competition, however I do believe there should have been a higher import tax and a higher sales tax for those wishing to buy the foregn cars. While the Government allowed Free trade and the importation of these foreign products then obviously they should foot the bill as they were just as much a part of this. I really do not condone the buy out, but then where else do we go from here, we just can't continue printing money and using tax payers dollars to bailout all big businesses. HOW ABOUT BAILING OUT THE AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD. Haven't heard anything about that, after all it is our tax money. Should we be part of it? It surely would take more than a $600 stimulus check to do so. As you can see that didn't help. Let me just end by saying HOW ABOUT A $100,000 TO $200,000 STIMULUS CHECK FOR EVERY TAX PAYING HOUSEHOLD.
