Sad Department Manager
This guy went to college then, after graduation, moved back home with his parents to save money. He ended up getting a job at Best Buy while he "figured stuff out." It's 10 years later and he still lives in the town he went to high school in, is balding, gained 15 pounds and is the manager of the digital cameras department. He's perfectly adequate at his job, but talking to him for more than 5 minutes just makes you so damned sad.
lol..i can see this being the background of many of the dept managers

i goto BB quite a bit so this is pretty funny

[pandalove]

Did they try to get you to do that stupid chant:

"929 BC's Time .... 929 Time to Shine .... Best Buy .... Best Buy .... Best Buy"

It was like working for some sort of bizarre greedy cult.

7am meetings were paid when i was there...from 7-11 its like 4 paid hours to listen to the managers talk bullshit sales jargon.

Grizzled Old Home Theater/Computer Sales Lifer
This guy has seen some shit. He's a refugee from Lechmere or Tweeter or some other now-defunct retail outlet. He knows the most about the products he sells, which is why all the part-time high school employees send customers with actual questions his way. He's got an air of resigned acceptance about his life, and while he's all-business with customers, he's got no filter with fellow employees. He tells inappropriate jokes and talks vulgarly about the managers behind their back. He has a strictly regimented cigarette break every 2.5 hours that he never, ever misses.

Did you notice we had a couple of these at 929 (Best Buy Langley).

Yeah and they are missing the token east-indian guy with the over-gelled frohawk and bizarre goatee .... and the token asian kid with the Dragon Ball Z haircut...both who usually work in the computer section and hit on anything female that moves.
