Dude, no one comes.

I needed something from Best Buy the other day that was locked up. I pretty easily found an employee who tried to be helpful but had to call a manager over to open the case. As frustrating as it I that I couldn't just get the thing I needed, it has to be straight up demoralizing for the employees to know that they aren't trusted either.

    You think I don't think this shit is demeaning as fuck? Rather than pay, what, $100 bucks a day on a LP employee, they installed doors and forced their remaining employees to deal with the irate customers who are pissed about being forced to ask permission to buy a $4 deodorant.

    It's not about theft, it's about forcing 1 or 2% more out of a balance sheet. They don't give a fuck that their service is less usable. We're just the vessels for their profits.
