This is not from me - from someone else....
This morning I went to Best Buy to buy some Christmas gifts and witnessed Best Buy at its best, trying to rip off a clueless buyer:
Clueless Buyer trying to pay for a brand new PS3
Cashier: "Do you want the extended warranty from Best Buy?"
Clueless Buyer: "Well, I dunno.."
Cashier: "Let me explain you. The PS3 comes with 8 cells and the Sony warranty only covers two, so if any of the other six malfunction is going to cost you a lot of money to repair your console but with the extended warranty from Best Buy you get full coverage and after a year we will perform a tune up to make your system run like it's new." <- WTF
Clueless Buyer: "Ok"
Cashier: "Are you going to connect your console to the internet?"
Clueless Buyer: "Actually I'm buying this as a christmas present so I don't really know."
Cashier: "That's ok, because if you buy the in-home gaming setup for just $100 (more or less) you can call us any day you want and we will go to your house to set your internet account, update the console, etc..."
At that point I decided to intervene and asked the clueless buyer for who was the gift and it turn out to be for his fifteen year old son, I told him that probably his son already knew how to do everything Best Buy was trying to scam him into and if not he could with me a call to guide him through it step by step.
I saved the gentleman a couple hundred dollars and then received the silent treatment from the cashier when he was attending me. Shame on you Best Buy.
