Rofl @ Stu P. Bich. Best.name.evar.
It sucked at Best Buy because you're up there at your line...and there's like....a buncha people in line...and when every one of them gets up there....you had to say something along these lines:
"Hey, how you doing?"
*customer response*
"Did you find everything alright?"
*customer response*
If no, you gotta be like "what were you looking for that you couldn't find?"
*ring up their crap*
If they have a Replacement Plan applicable item you say: "One thing I'd definitely recommend on your <item> today is our two year product replacement benefit. Basically what that's gonna do for you is it covers everything in the manufacturers warranty, plus everyday wear and tear including heat, dust and humidity. So, when (never 'if') in a year and a half something goes wrong, you bring it back and get a new one right off the shelf. Is that something you'd want to go with today?"
If they say no you have to say: "One of the best features of the replacement benefit is that when you bring back the item, you actually get a voucher for the ammount you paid for it today plus tax, so if the price of this item goes down, you can get a new one, plus the difference back. Would you want to go with that today?"
*mark if they said yes or no on your "tracker"*
If they don't have any Replacement Plan applicable items, you try to sell them magazines.
"Hey, just so you know everyone in the store today gets 8 free issues of Entertainment Weekly or Sports Illustrated, which one of those do you want?"
If yes, you gotta explain it to them: "How this works is you get 8 free issues, mailed right to your house, and 23 risk free issues, if you find that you're enjoying the magazines, they will automaticaly renew at only $1.04 an issue for as long as you want to keep them, but if you are not enjoying them, you can either go online *circle website url on flyer* or call up *circle phone number on flyer* and just tell them you don't want them anymore, and they'll stop sending them, it's really easy. Plus with the 23 risk free, if you decide on the 22nd issue that you don't want them, you get a full refund of everything past the 8th issue! It does require a credit or debit card to recieve the free magazines, but they don't charge anything on that unless you do want do go over the 8 free issues."
*sign them up for it, or if they said no, don't sign them up*
*do standard cashier stuff*
*start over on next customer all day long*

Oh yeah..and if you sell a magazine subscription you mark it on your tracker, and if your tracker has on average more bad marks than good ones, you'll be gone in a couple months.

Will: *picks up phone* "Hello?"
Stranger: "..."
Will: "Hello???"
Stranger: "..."
Will: "HELLO!?!?"
Stranger: "Hello, this is Robin. Are your parents there? What is your name? And why do you have to be so rude?"
Will: "My parents aren't here. My name is Will."
Robin: "Oh, okay. I'll call later and tell them about what I have to say and plus I'll tell them how rude you are on the phone. I sure hope you don't talk that way when other people called you."
Will: "...Bye." *hangs up* "WTF???"
The next day...
Will: "(She still hasn't called back yet. What a liar...)"

for the record Linkin, I want to shoot cashiers when they go through that whole spiel at bestbuy! I'm like "yeah, shut the fuck up and ring up my stuff, I have things to do!"
yes, poor butters. from working at a movie theater I know the horrors of people paying for stuff and being stupid. all too common in the box office:
2 please.
what movie?
2 PLEASE
WHAT MOVIE?
yeah.
WHAT MOVIE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
right, 2.
WHICH MOVIE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
*huffs impatiently, and speaks slowly" I...would...like...2....tickets!
*speaks slower and louder*
WHICH.......MOVIE.....WOULD....YOU.....LIKE.....TO....SEE?
yeah.
*shoots herself*

Zinovia, next time they do go through that whole speil for you, do them a favor, just shoot them. I guarantee they hate giving you the speil even more than you hate hearing it, but if they don't do it, they lose their job, it's a vicious cycle.
