Yeah, my thread title is full of sarcasm. I use sarcasm alot and I find it hard to translate to text. I wasn't trying to be funny with the title.
I feel bad for the Loss Prevention department. There needs to be 1 person from loss prevention at the store during all times in which the store is not secure, locked up, etc. They will be working all-nighters until this is repaired. Most other employees get a "holiday" from this.
A friend of mine used to be an assistant manager for Future Shop in Canada (future shop is pretty much Best Buy, but the employees make commish).
He had to do this once in a while when there was work being done by a third party in the store off hours (fixing plumbing, etc).
He invited me over with some other people and we just played games and watched movies on a gigantic tv all night.
Not a bad way to pass the time, but after three hours of being in the store, I wanted to kill myself. These big box type stores, where you are just being yelled at by all of the advertizing, are just depressing.
And the smell of carpet.
It explains why most Future Shop/BB employees I've dealt with are jaded.
I once walked in looking to buy a dishwasher (cash literally in hand) and - I'm not going to lie - I was looking a little scruffy (full beard, long hair) but had good clothes on - and the sales person just did not seem interested in making easy money.
I ended up going to the Sears in the Serbian neighbourhood and got a pretty sweet deal instead.
