i was at best buy a couple of christmas' ago, looking at flat-screen televisions. there were a LOT of blue-coated individuals running around doing nothing so i asked one if he could help me out with checking out televisions. he pointed me to the aisle, said "they're right there," and went to wait on another customer. i knew where they were; i wanted help figuring out which one was best for my needs.
needless to say, i haven't been to best buy since and will never go there again...
