We need a modern days consumer advocate like some kind of hip tatooed Ralph Nader who takes on these shops by entraping them and then suiing them, by using tactics like you did to catch them in the act. They could also plant survelance equipment in the computers to record what is said while they are being worked on, heh heh.

I could see Best Buy finally being sued by a class action lawsuit and being brought down to their evil knees and subsequently going under. Then seeing an honest vendor take their place, forever knowing that it could be them next!
Wow, what a suggestion. Are you seriously suggesting that we clog up our courts with even more frivolous bullshit just because you don't like a store?

I feel sorry for your kid(s? ) and anyone else you preach this to.

America needs to start fighting for her rights again. If we can find great minds like the two guys that gave us google (I just read a cool article about them) we can find some visionary to be a great and profitable consumer advocate.
Please don't insult my country. Our courts were set up so that people could solve genuine disputes. You want to go out and sue Best Buy just because the employees didn't treat you nicely?

Boo-freakin'-hoo. I'm disappointed that you, at 50-someodd years of age, can't seem to grasp that people won't always be nice and helpful.

Some people are smart.
Others are dumb.

Some people want to help you.
Others want to screw you over.

Some people know what they're talking about.
Others do not.

And you genuinely think that a lawsuit will fix that? That a lawsuit will make everyone be fair and helpful? Wow.

Hey, if Firestone got caught in the act, so should Best Buy/Geek Jerks (err, geek squad). I'd LOVE to sue them.
Firestone made a product that put peoples' lives in danger, whereas a kid at Best Buy sold you a warranty you didn't need.

How dare you suggest that these are in any way similar? The nerve!

I'll never forget the crappy attitude of the BB employees back in Ithaca when I lived there up until last year. Especially the jerk squad idiots. I caught them twice making fun of me behind my back, only for me to put them in their place for being total nimrods. Both times it felt good, too, very vindicating.

You find better competance at Rat Shack than BB.
Wow? Some people will be nice to you, others will not. Be a man and suck it up; in life some people will make fun of you no matter what.
I have to agree, 100%.

I totally understand. I went through the Earthlink crap a few years ago when it was Mindspring. At the time Mindspring had their shit together and had one Hell of a great customer service department. All that went to Hell when Earthlink bought them out. My solution? I dumped them 2 months later.

We can all bitch and complain about the services we get. Whether it be Earthlink, Bellsouth, Comcast, or whoever. The bottom line is this. If you think you're getting screwed. Dump the service! Don't wait for stupid answers from whatever company your dealing with. Dump them and move on.

As an example: I was with a well known gas supplier for several years. I was paying X amount that was locked in. I get a notice to continue for next year at a price almost 100% higher to lock in. Not going to happen. I realize the costs have gone up, but before I do anything, I search for better prices. I find a supplier that is only 25% higher. I lock it in. Now I get notices from the previous supplier begging me to come back at a substancial reduction in rates. Bullshit! If you wanted me as a customer you wouldn't have tried to screw me in the first place.

So what's my point, you ask?

We all make choices. We have the right to change those choices. If we make a bad choice should we sue? Hell No!

Unfortunatly some people make lots of bad choices. Then they feel it's their right to sue because of their owm stupidity.

Again, what's my point? If you choose a company for services rendered and you're not happy with those services, you do have a choice. You can keep the service and bitch like Hell when you have problems and listen to that companies BS about your problem. Or option B. Tell them to kiss your ass and find someone else.

Option A has never been an option to me. You can listen to all their B.S. and promices, but in the end you're still screwed.

Good grief! I'm rambling here. Help!

Sorry, I am leaving this thread because I see that removed is trying to provoke me. I had to block him a little ways back, and I see someone here has ignored my desires and has copied his statements for me to see. Rather than stay here and see them, I am leaving, because I am tired of his trolling, I never see him in any forum helping anyone but just trolling, sorry guys, I have to leave this thread now.

  I'm not trolling anybody. You posted your opinion and I countered it with my own. If debating something bothers you this much, maybe you shouldn't post to begin with.

Please don't clog this topic with your personal BS. We're trying to talk about Best Buy, not your feelings about me.

Do you need some Johnsons "no more tears" shampoo and a bottle of mydol and a box of tampons? Signmeuptoo, you complain about removed just stating his own opinions. Why? You spout off constantly about some of the most hair brained things I have ever read about.

Before you go attacking a fine upstanding member of the community that is DSLR, take a look at your own actions to make sure you aren't guilty of the same things.
