Testimonial #89: The first "hate mail" person turns 180°
I actually wrote the first hatemail you posted on your site back in like, 2002. (http://www.ihatebestbuy.com/Hate_1.html) I was naive, bestbuy was my first job, and I hadn't been exposed to what the company was.
As I moved up in ranks, I realized that this company isn't an electronics retailer, it's just a sham of what USED to be an electronics retailer. We don't have product knowledge or customer service meetings, but PSP/PRP training sessions.
Selling a PSP is more important than a quality television, nobody cares if your television sales are high, but if the PSP numbers fall everyone gets shit for it.
I work merchandising, not sales, and I've never sold a PSP in my life, if a manager is near, I'll say 'Uh..yeah theres a service plan you can get if you want, ask about it up front' and then I'll go back to answering questions like a S.M.A.R.T friend is supposed to do. [Smart friend is the fancy bestbuy term for sales people]
Anyway, I'm through. Just one more little tid-bit.
http://menace-central.net is owned by me, I posted something I had figured out and think that the viewers of this site might be interested to know what it was as well.

03/30/2004: Interested in a free working version of windows XP? Know someone who is? Well It's easy!
Bestbuy, the company which currently employs me didn't think my idea to prevent windows serial numbers from being stolen was good enough to be shared with other stores within the company. Apparently it's "IMPOSSIBLE" to do what I'm about to tell you, even though I did it because I lost the registration code for my copy windows XP in the mess that is my computer room.
So I'll just tell everyone how to do it, so I can laugh at bestbuy down the road when this is a huge problem.
Step[1]: Just download windows XP from anywhere (newsgroups, kazaa, etc...).
A nice, upgradeable, updateable, fully registered copy of windows XP is yours for absolutely nothing. The only victim is the person who buys the package, because his windows XP serial number will already be registered and Microsoft will laugh in his face.
But fuck him anyway right? Have a good one.
Step[2]: Then take a trip down to your local bestbuy store
Step[3]: Go to one of the computer packages on display
Step[4]: Turn the piece of shit around
Step[5]: Find the sticker that has the windows registration code, and boom.
