RIP 2009 Circuit City

I talked about this a little while back, but hoped I was wrong. What is very sad, was they were unable to avoid closing. I do not pretend to understand all the business intergoings, but if you see a downward trend, start closing stores to get some cash, don't act surprised when the feds bankruptcy date you got you goes and passes. You had many interested parties over the past few years, and the best you could do was self liquidate? Screw you. This is the voice of a pissed off consumer and a former employee.

I'll be honest here: screw Best Buy. I'd rather go to Office Max for a local retail store.  I'd rather not go into store like Best Buy and have to coach myself to not get angry when I have to ask for help, or get talked down to when I finally get it.

When I installed/sold services at Circuit City, I explained what they were, so no one would come back complaining that they could get AVG for free. I constantly hear about people from best buy who were sold Spysweeper, Norton and other crap and do not know what was installed or why. Maybe this happens are other Circuit Citys, or less in some Best Buys, but this honesty was encouraged where I worked. Honesty over boasting a flamboyant beetle. Seriously, few straight men drive them. They come in fruity colors for a reason. BTW, people wear ties to work to look professional. Wearing them in a mocking manner to look semi professional in a High School girl's eyes, is stupid.

Yes this is blatent rant. But this is my last chance to do this before I go NewEgg vs BestBuy which will be a much easier argument.
