Today, I bought a brand new flat screen TV. When I brought it home it didn't work. Furious, I walked into Best Buy and yelled at a guy in a tucked in blue polo and khakis. I asked him why it didn't work and he said he didn't know. I kept screaming. He didn't have a nametag. He didn't work there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML
Today, I bought a brand new TV that cost a pretty penny. I took it home and it had a defect. After a lot of arguing, I was able to exchange the TV for another one. I got it home and it worked amazing. Later on, we had a bad rainstorm, which flooded my room and screwed up not only my new TV, but my PS5, Xbox, and laptop. FML
Today, I walked into Best Buy to buy a 42" widescreen TV I'd been saving up for many months. As I walked in, a man stopped me and handed me my wallet that I'd accidentally dropped. I thanked him. Five minutes later at the checkout, I opened up my wallet to realize it was empty. He had stolen everything. FML
Today, I was chewed out by a lady who claimed the laptop she bought wouldn't turn on, and that she wanted a refund. She yelled and shoved the laptop at me, not even listening when I told her I didn't even work at that store. FML
Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. FML
Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML
Today, I went to a store to buy a 43-inch TV that was on sale. The sale was so good that they sold out on the floor. I went to guest services and asked the employee if they had any in the back. She literally went to the back of the room, let out this god awful fart, came back out and said, “Sorry, we don’t.” FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML

Even if he had a name tag, why would you yell at him? "Hey, you work here! You must know exactly what's wrong with the TV I bought from some other employee a while ago! "

And that is only one out of many, MANY reasons no one should ever shop at Best Buy. Reason #1, everything there is GROSSLY over priced!

Why do people insist on looking like they work at the places they shop?! I swear to God there are more people who dress like they work at Walmart than there actually are employees!

You're an ass. even if he did work at best buy he has no idea why the TV doesn't work... You know why he doesn't know? BECAUSE HE IS A SALESMAN! Firstly, in this situation it is a good idea to be rational, and not a ******* asshole. People like you piss me off. You have no respect for people, and you automatically think the world owes you something because your flat screen TV doesn't work. They are going to replace it anyway, and give you another brand new TV. Sure it is a bit of a hassle to have to bring it back to the store, but it's not like they ripped you off. Screaming at someone doesn't help the situation. Grow up, act like a real man, take it is stride and get your TV replaced you full-grown child.

As a former Best Buy employee... You are the reason why I wanted to kill myself for 3 years. It's not our ******* fault your TV doesn't work. We don't open every goddamn box to test the product inside. Buy a service plan and have Geek Squad install it for you, asshole, since you're obviously not competant enough to do it yourself.

You're an ass. I work in retail and we don't make the products all we do is sell them so being able to tell you why it's broken may not always be possible. If you came in and yelled at me asking why something was broken, ya I'd try to help you figure it out, but if you didn't calm down or you got worse I'd give you a number we have which leads to a foreign line which EVENTUALLY will get you to the manufacturer if you are patient enough that is and lucky to find someone who speaks semi-decent English.

Why did you have to yell? Chances are, some of these employees don't even know what the problem would be. So, YDI, you're an ass.

YDI completely for freaking out like that. If you had been kind and just went to the customer service desk they would have helped you fix the problem. Way to go being an ass.
