Former best buy alum checking here too. Worked the "Tech Bench" which then became geek squad through high school and a little in college. Man I feel old now, it has been over 10years ago that I left. I remember it being pretty fun working there, discounts back in the day were awesome and it paid damn well for a high school job. Can't imagine what it's like to work there now with everyone buying online.

I never had that opportunity...:icon17:

nice!!

dude, I need an installer to install my remote start on my QX70...

yeah man, a lot of things have changed..

honestly, Ive thought about picking up a part time gig back with BBY just to get the discount and hit on chicks all day...:icon17:

ohh my gosh dude, my relationship percentage went through the roof while I was there.. I loved it.. and I was in a college town.. ohhh man, bad combination. :icon17:

I remember our GM was notorious for only hiring hot girls. He eventually got fired but damn was it nice until then.

I heard the discount structure has changed a bunch and isn't that great anymore. I believe it was like 5% above cost back in my day. Car audio, A/V and networking stuff was a steal. Home theater I bet is the only thing keeping BBY alive. TVs are usually the only thing I go to the big box stores for now.

It's still 5% above cost

eastwest rep'd you!:icon08:

I would have enjoyed that..

and you're right, the consumer got smart which really affected business.

I see BB is now allowing customers to demo products for a few days before buying it. Perfect time to try it and then buy it on Amazon.

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

you know, i get the big deal with amazon.. amazon's prices are usually pretty high when you compare it to eBay.. BUT, the 2 day shipping, you cant beat that.

Thats 2 day shipping with Amazon prime, which I dont have.

If you dont have amazon prime and you buy something on amazon, you're waiting easily 7 to 10 days for your stuff.. which sucks.

Its kinda like amazon rubbing it in, indiscreetly saying you should have prime sucka

For $100 that also gives me unlimited photo storage and free movies. I'll accept prime.

So a buddy of mine just sent me a text talking about an ex that I dated years ago and sparked a story that will go down in infamy for me.

About 7 years ago I was dating a girl who wanted to have a Halloween party. She invited whatever friends she had over and I made tons of food. One of her friends made apple cider moonshine. It burned blue when lit on fire. Tasted amazing and I still have a hole in my stomach from the alcohol volume.

Anyways, she lived on a farm and she only had one toilet. I get absolutely smashed from the moonshine. It's about 3 in the morning and wake up having to piss harder than a race horse. Problem is that I was still hammered and couldn't remember where the bathroom was. I distinctly remember hearing her cat using the litter box though. I stumble over to the kitty and pick it up. I proceed to pet the kitty while unleashing a torrent of built up moonshine into the litter box. This probably last a solid minute. I then go back to bed snuggling the cute kitty.

Queue it being around 7 in the morning. I wake up to hearing the cat literally HOWLING. The poor thing was pissed. I look over and see the litter box has turned into a cement brick. The cat was standing on it and the litter was legitimately hard. I walk over to the cat and begin to smell the blend of kitty litter mixed with apples and alcohol. I walk back out to my car, drive home and never saw my ex again. ^_^

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

You don't have Prime?!?!?! Do you not order much from them?

And Amazon just bought Whole Foods in cash....

nope.. no prime for me... i think they're prices are high on pretty much everything.

i saw that on cnn

Just bought my smoker for $20 cheaper than every store around my area and had it delivered to my front door in 2 days. I skipped out on having to drive around wasting gas, putting mileage on the Z, dealing with old people waiting in lines, and wasting my time just having to deal with morons in stores. I'll consider that a win...

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

There are 2 Amazon fulfillment centers here in the KC area, so it's a no-brainer to have Prime. We will be getting Prime Now pretty soon, so 2 hour delivery for things will be awesome. Like Lein said, not having to deal with old people that move at .5 MPH in a store is worth the $100. :tup:

Happy Friday!!!

Seriously looking at upgrading wheels in the near future. Stock 18's dark gunmetal color are not bad but there is much better out there. Trying to figure out what would look good on a blue pearl Z....Kinda like the new Nismo ones.

That's the challenge I've got. I'd like to get something better, but what looks good with the Monterey Blue? I've considered white, black, silver & red..... :confused:

we won't get started on manufacturer & styles... :confused:

holy crap there are lot's of choices....:eekdance:

I need a factory size set of tires in 19"

I just plan to eventually get a set of SAMS or TE-37's in bronze or silver. Color choices for this car are rather tough unless you go with white or black.

man, just get pink... and rock that damn sh1t.

It would be nice to have a cool set of 19s for summer use, then switch back to the 18s for winter (since I'm one of those guys... :icon23:)




I've got the space to store an extra set of wheels and while I like the factory Rays, I'd really like something different.

I kinda like these:

I have yet to worry about that :wtf2:

Who doesn't like a good deal on Under Armour!

Just bought a rack of spare ribs to try tonight in the smoker. Using hickory pellets in an ANMPS box for way better smoke output and using a digital probe to better measure the internal temps instead of using the built in gauge. Really hoping to not see 75 degree temp swings like on Wednesday...

4 months out of consulting and I still hate being in the office on Fridays. Going to need to arrange some flex work time here soon, I was spoiled with never having to go to the office and I'm still having trouble adjusting back to "normal" work life.

Im the same way, although, I would never drive the Z during the winter.. Im wanting the winter and summer set for my Infiniti..

:icon17:

Apparently the new finance guy we hired is going around the office trying to 1-up me with his base model Camaro.... The one with those cheap 15 inch black wheels, auto, and less HP than the new Civic....
