[rant on]What the f$ck is wrong with this company?
They must have a bunch of monkeys training their employees or something. Oh please, let me bow down to you while I ask for your oh-so special help. Customer service is going the way of the dodo.
I was trying to get a new hard drive for my laptop. They had a 160gb ide drive in their flyer for $74.99. Well before I went up there I saw on [H] that some of their stores were selling a Seagate 160gb ide 2.5 drive for $27.99:eek:. I hurry to my local store with $35 in my pocket. Turns out this store wanted $38.xx for the same drive. Damn I'm short.
This is where it gets fucked up. I asked the dude how many they had back there and the cocksucker wouldn't answer me. Not a direct "we don't tell you for whatever fucked up reason", but a bunch of mumbling. WTF?
I didn't have access to more dough for a couple hours and when I went back up there ALL the cheap drives were gone. "Some guy came in and bought all 10" the lackwit says.
I should have just said "oh well" and bought the $75 job, but I went home to call some of the other stores said lackwit told me still had some in stock. That was a fucking bust as the employees at each store said they couldn't find any of the drives the computer said they had in stock. Hmm, I wonder why?
Holy Jeebus farking christmas, the hell with it I say and head back to BB to admit defeat and get the $75 drive. No such luck for this miserable bastard as they now were all out of every last ide notebook hdd. Good stocking job btw. 0 for 3
Why the hell do they keep all the notebook hdds a big god damn secret in the first place anyway. They were all in some back room over in the Dipshit Squad area.
Since when is it OK to leave a customer standing at the counter for 10 min while you go off who knows where to research other store's stock?
