CompUSA strikes again. I'm telling you. If I ever need something stupid to write about, 5 minutes in this store has plenty.
While waiting in line at the register, there are two old ladies behind me looking at the games on the shelf. In particular, they were talking about "Stronghold 2".
Person #1: Oh, this game is horrible. That man on the cover looks evil.
Person #2: He looks like the devil.
Person #1: I would never let my kids play a game like this.
Person #2: Me either... and they are better off for it too.
Person #1: They are lucky they us to look out for them.
Person #2: I mean... it looks like Holloween or something.
This conversation drags on while we wait in line.
Person #1: Where is everybody?
Person #2: I know... all these customers in line, and they only have one girl at the register open.
Person #1: Look, all those other employees are just standing around over there. You would think they might come over here and help her.
Person #2: Kids of today... no teamwork.
Now, you know I am just standing there getting a kick out of them talking right? I get up to the register and she scans my stuff. (BTW - They moved those obnoxious monitors. Guess I wasn't the only one to complain about them) So, I run my card through and it says "cannot read card" so I scan it again. It says "cannot read card". So, I spin it around and try the other way and nothing happens. The girl behind the register (Who was watching me) says "You have to put it in the other way". I reply with "Been there, done that, and it obviously didn't work". The old bags behind me giggle. Shocking.
As one last insult to injury, it starts to print my receipt then runs out of tape. She informs me that it ran out of tape, and she must get more. I told her to go get the tape and when she is ready, i will be in my car waiting. So I left, mumbling about how if I want stupid, I need to go to CompUSA, and if I didn't get enough, I could always stop at Best Buy and fill up there, as well.

If you hate it so much why do you keep shopping there dipshit?
Because my choice is CompUSA, Best Buy, Staples and Office Max. Where else would you like for me to shop locally? I don't have any small vendors around. When they do bother to have a Computer Show, it's generally pretty crappy anyway. I am one of those "now" people. Online ordering takes too long.
