Yes, I have. I worked at Best Buy for over five years. I would know what product we carried, what we had instock, where it was located. I would make sure to learn my customers' names and what their likes were so I could recommend things when they came in.

On Tuesdays alone:

Eric, a bus driver, would come in wanting the newest R&B and hip hop CDs.

Shane, who would come in during his lunch around 11:15, loved horror and sci-fi movies.

Chris and his mother Nancy would come in sometime between 11-2 to get the latest horror movies and Disney movies.

Rick loved action movies, so he always wanted something with explosions in it.

Richard was also a Disney fan who would come buy around 3 whenever the latest Disney stuff came out.

Eric would be in just before 4 to buy newest releases.

Josh would come in on either Tues or Wed to buy the latest super hero movies and the newest video games.

Tim was an anime lover, especially mecha, so he would be in to buy the latest mecha titles.

Gary would come in sometime between 3-7 and drop about $200 a week on the latest movie releases. He would often also spend another $100 on the website for movies that came out that we did not carry.

And so on.

If the product wasn't on the floor when someone would ask, I would check out system to see if it was instock. I would also check with the warehouse in the back to see if anything came in. If it was something in another department, I would help them the best I could until a person from that department was able to take over for me.

If they were trying to figure out an artist for a song, I would have them give me some of the lyrics and we would look it up online to see if I could find the artist and the album so I could see if we had it instock.

There is no reason I should not expect anything less than 100% when I go into a store. I'm not saying the person needs to know my name, but the excuse that they couldn't even look up a UPC I had right then and there, on hand, is utter and complete laziness. There are no excuses for that behavior. That old fart is there to do a job and he simply refused to do it.

When Fedex tells you, your package will be delivered on Wednesday, it means it will be delivered to USPS on Wednesday, not to your house.

Well that's bullshit. It didn't say that. It said it would be delivered on Wed. If they wanted to deliver it to the Post Office first, it should have stated that and they should not have taken 3 days to drive it through MO.
