The Shrine

In the last few days add the following to the casualty list:

Circuit City (Chapter 11)
The Shane Company (Chapter 11)
Nortel Networks (Chapter 11)

Good. Maybe those damn radio commercials will go away here too.

Circuit City had been getting owned by Best Buy for a while.

Big liquidation CC sales may start tomorrow, an article i read says. If you dont care about no warranty, might be a fine time to purchase stuff.

Heh an old friend from HS just emailed me on Facebook asking if my company was hiring. He's been working on their Geek squad-like team for way too long.

The way CC ran their stores never made sense to me. They treated everyone who walked into the store like a criminal and that's why everything of value was locked inside glass cabinets. You couldn't buy even a simple game without getting a sales person to unlock it for you and there were NEVER enough sales people on the floor. Best Buy doesn't do that at all, at worst they have individual security boxes which don't inhibit you from purchasing, and while Target still does this with games at least they have a big button on the door to page a person to help.

It is a shame though cause I bought my latest TV from there last April. Just about the only item I didn't want to buy online.

I just shutter now knowing that Best Buy is the only game in town.

And I don't even LIKE Best Buy. They overcharge for a lot of not-very-expensive things.

"Now, you have a friend in the diamond business."

GUESS AGAIN, BITCH!
