Comment on Best Buy Membership "discount"
Melkath@kbin.social 5 months agoYup.
I was 17, I was about to graduate high school so it was part time. I was the most reliable department associate, but one of the "weaker" salesmen.
The department was spotless when I was there and the phone always got answered, and I made sure to bag 3 or 4 big sales a week, but I wasn't out to bleed every poor soul who walked into the department dry. I was more about good service and finding the right solution for each person.
So I got an average of 32 hours a week, well over all the other people in the department, but I was definitely on my way out, and that raging hemorrhoid of a waste of air reaming me out over helping an 80 year old woman who literally showed me her social security check, but assured me she had friends she could get to invite her over for dinner if the computer was too expensive pushed me out.
Its not even like if they fired me I would have gotten unemployment. It was just a petty move from a coward with a micro-peen who couldn't handle a 17 year old telling them they were a 45 year old failure at life working in a Best Buy for just over minimum wage taking advantage of nice elderly ladies.
