why best buy sucks




why i support local business, by bo williams, age 20

ok. so i go into poindexter's tonight, am pleasantly greeted by andy
schull and jack campbell, and i go to root around in the vinyl, see if
there's anything new. and there is. boy, is there. so there's this new
thing out on drunken fish, which is a three-record box set, with side-long
cuts by bardo pond, flying saucer attack, jessamine, roy montgomery, loren
mazzacane connors, and charalambides. it's priced $19.86. I have $20.20. I
go to the counter anyway. Jack looks at it, we talk about how it's a
really limited pressing and this is their last copy (i was just lucky i
got there thirty seconds before jeff stern did) and Jack rings it up. $21.
I have $20.20. I show Jack my $20.20. He says, "just bring me a buck next
time you're in here." he doesn't know me at all, and he says this to me.
*that* is why i don't go to best buy.

do you think anybody at best buy will ever do that? hell fucking no.

if you haven't got the point by now, you're just not going to.
