That's just about the time I left, right before Christmas - I couldn't take another holiday season of working 13 hour days.. just couldn't take it The guy who was manager then was some rat-faced dude named Steve, who was (allegedly) boinking one of the little hotties working the registers
That is a pretty weird experience. I've never had a problem like that before shopping at Circuit City...and I've bought quite a few items from them in the past. I bought my A/V receiver at one because they actually had a better selection than Best Buy. Granted, it may just be the brand I was focused on having a better selection there. But, what you went through seems more like an anomaly. I've gone to Best Buy a few times and had their sales people on the floor completely abandon me after "going to check" on some merchandise. Then, I see them later acting like everything is cool when they have completely forgotten about me. So, sh_t happens at both retailers. I personally hate the Best Buy machine and I need Circuit City around to counterbalance those r-tards. If we get a monopoly in the retail industry around Best Buy, then heaven help us all.
I remember steve, he interviewed me. the manager who was fired after you left was the ops manager if you remember, probably not that was sometime ago now. it was only one little hottie working behind the register so I probably know who you're talking about. small world
Agreed, all big box electronics retailers suck. That's what's crazy about Best Buy. You go in there and it's as if they have nobody there to sell you the stuff. You literally have to find an employee and and tell them that you'd like to buy something. Fry's is average, but I hate the way their checkout lines work, and I don't like having to show my receipt for a $10 memory card on the way out.
It already is that way. The good guys are no more, Compsa I think is struggling mightily and always going through changes, Circuit City seems to be in sink or swim mode.. closer to sinking. Best Buy is growing by the day.

Well, I guess that means one more store in our mall is closing. It just opened in 2006 and has already lost 2 of its junior anchors in Circuit City and Steve & Barry's.
Malls are gonna get killed in 2009. Losing anchors kills you. It will sell cheap and someone else will make money on it later.
Oh, well it's relatively new and the firm that owns it has a pretty strong foothold on real estate around here. In fact, their in the process of tearing down our old mall and rebuilding a new shopping center. Can't imagine what is going to be there though.
I can only imagine the herds of people that will be going in to CC once they start the liquidation mark-downs. I'm sure they're probably going to stop ordering big-ticket items like TV's and computers ASAP, so you better be there the first day it starts since they don't keep many of any one product in the store. I went in the one in Pearland Tuesday night to take back a tom-tom traffic receiver, and it was a ghost town. Granted, it was a Tuesday night, but there were maybe three or four other cars in the parking lot.
