Dumb People

So I went to Circuit City today to see what kind of stuff is left. There wasn't a whole lot of anything worth being interested in and if you ask me, the bigger items are a total gamble. To me the bargain price really isn't worth risking knowing that I wouldn't be able to return what ever it is if something went wrong. Then I'd have to rely on the manufacturer and we all know what a pain it can be to get them to do anything.

While we were waiting in a held up line, Yes-Yes and I figured out what the problem was. After watching a woman try to return or exchange something that she JUST bought and being upset when the manager told her "sorry", we realized that the man at the front of the line was trying to do the same thing. After being told he'd have to go to the manufacturer, he went up to the manager and told him that they sold him a non-working radio. The man didn't test it before he bought it and then found that it only worked for a short time before dying on him. Of course he was told the same as the woman before him and was referred to the big signs when he protested.

I REALLY do not understand how dumb some people can be. They see giant, brightly colored sale signs and just throw their money out the window. I can see wanting a good deal but even I walked out with a handful of DVDs and a flash drive. There is no way that you could get me to spend money on something that may completely break down and become trash. I just stood there and felt REALLY bad for these employees. Could you imagine having to deal with all that complaining and stupidity all day? I think I sympathise more because I've done it. And that's exactly why I don't do it anymore. ;o) I may end up going back before they totally go out though...there was a good deal on a tv stand that caught my eye.
