I have a confession...

This is my first post and wanted to come clean...I sell computers at Best Buy.

 

I know it's not a glamorous position, and has been tainted with negative stereotypes of ignorant sales tactics- but I'm different! I genuinely care about people's decisions when buying a new computer, and I do my very best to be informative and sincere when giving recommendations. I'm not here to defend bad experiences or promote the company. I just didn't want to live a lie anymore.

 

All that to be said, I'm excited to be apart of the community and join in on the fun!

You look like a trustable source for PC hardware and purchasing decisions, despite the blue shirt with the yellow tag :P. I go there often, we also have others on the forum whom work for them. I don't mind BB, I just don't buy computers there (though I will need to get some thermal paste there later this week, the people at the smaller stores are far too rude.)

its okay young padawan. its better to infiltrate the death star and be a spy in there rather than actually joining the dark side. 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

Its funny the past few times I have gone in there with my father (who despite my knowledge and opinion will still ask the employees) the past few people we have talked to have actually known there stuff and actually led my father in the right direction. One I would have directed him in too. Now however I have had horrible experiences before with people, a dual core A6 doesn't beat a desktop i3..... 

 

So as long as you offer decent advise and don't work just for commission on the most expensive laptop.

Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

HOLY. CRAP.

 

Are you kidding me? Is the forum always like this?

 

Within 18 minutes this thread had 20 replies...all of which were positive?! I've been apart of some great gaming forums, but never had a response like that before! It sincerely felt like a warm welcome, you have officially won me over!
