Yup.
I was in the computer sales department.
We were flat out told what the lies were, and how to make them more convincing.
The service contracts were non-refundable, so it didn't matter.
When a manager caught me helping a retiree get a cheap setup to email her grandkids instead of getting them on a line of credit for a top of the line gaming pc, they didn't even fire me. They just stopped scheduling me hours and told me to keep coming in to get my schedule.
Picked up a blank schedule for 5 weeks before I stopped going in and I'm sure they filed no call no show paperwork when I didn't show up for my 1 hour 3 weeks later.
Fuck best buy.
FYI you can claim unemployment when businesses do this to you if you previously been working consistent hours.
My memory is I checked with no intention to actually file, first job lost and all, and Arizona + part time = no unemployment.
Gotta be over 40 a week to qualify.
Oh my fuck that stupid fucking horrible credit card. So so so many people they wanted me to push it on who were definitely NOT in the position to have one. If you're struggling to put together $400 for your kid's college laptop the last thing you need is some high pressure manager telling you that this credit card will save everything. Just ignore the 29% APR and different ways to try to get you to forego payments and rack up interest as long as possible.
I did sales to start for the first couple of years. For a while I had the best sales in my department. They asked me what I did in a meeting. I told them, I'm honest with people. If someone works in tech, why should I push geek squad services? Get to know them, find out they have a baby, maybe they need accidental instead. Buying a new printer? Fuck the HP, get the brother and an extra ream of paper or something. You're a single woman living alone, steady job, just want a second computer? Why do you need accidental, but maybe tech support if you willingly tell me you have gotten a lot of viruses before. I sold them what I thought would be most useful to them. Of course you know how that meeting went. "Wait, you aren't selling cOmPlEtE PaCkAgEz?!" But my sales remained steady so they couldn't do anything, and then I transferred to geek squad shortly after.
I'm not surprised at all they couldn't even get the balls together to just fire you, they chickened out.
