Rick goes to Best Buy

My buddy and I needed to kill some time... obviously me being the adventurous type did not want to kill time wandering around the city. So when I saw our local BestBuy I took the right lane, cut off a geo and turned in to their inadequately salted below average parking lot. I get out of my car to see that I had parked in about four parking spots. If the lot would have been up to par then maybe the old couple in the geo I cut off would have found the handy capped van accessible spots right in front of the store.
I proceed to the front door to have the silent bob looking security punk give me a stare of, yea I’m in charge of security look then say, “Welcome to BestBuy”, like he was reading off of a flash card. That is how they train them you know.
I walked around looking at some IPod stuff. I still can’t figure out what is with these damn IPods. I mean you pay $400 plus for some of these miniature juke boxes and then the battery starts not to hold a charge and you are forced to buy a new one. Not only the new one but the new model too because the one you have is obsolete. Anyways, at last I find myself in the digital camera section. I’m looking around with a puzzled look on my face for about three minutes. Finally a friendly sales associate greets me with, “Can I help you with anything?”. I said yes I see you have a camera here as an open box sale item. I’d like to check it out. She quickly finds the key and brings out the camera. I try turning it on and there is no battery. I’m like geez your not on top of things…you lose points. She goes to look for a battery and returns some time later with the battery, only to find that it is not charged or whatever. More points. She then asks me if I’m still interested. I’m like Uhh no. I can’t even see if it’s any good. Meanwhile my buddy is checking out some cameras for himself. He finds a nice one then starts taking pictures of random things.
I then tell the sales girl that I am really from circuit city and I’m here just to see if best buy is doing a better job than us...obviously with all the point loss their not. She gets real serious and nervous and says oh really. I can’t hold it in so I smirked and laughed. Then I told her how gullible she is. I talked to her for a couple of minutes and had my buddy take a picture or me and her. He then told me to give him my memory card out of my treo. I gave it to him and he had no clue what to do with it. So I ask the sales girl hey put this on my card and give me a print out too. She looked like she knew what she was going to do…points given. So she is trying to figure it out and my buddy is trying to game her a little bit by saying here I’ll hold it and you tell me what to do… I need a lesson. I then butted in saying hey this girl ant the Geek Squad. She said something about how they give one on one lessons. I then held my tongue. I thought of all sorts of perverted things to say. You get the idea. Moving on...She printed out the picture and gave it to me. I said Wow, we don’t look too bad together. After a while of talking with her I decided it was time to go since they closed ten minutes ago. Again on the way out the security eyes me up. I was temped to throw my arms up and say, “You got me”.
