Yesterday, at Best Buy one thing shocked me. A lady was looking at a laptop for about thirty minutes. It may have been longer. She was there when I got there. Anyway, she had a sales man tied up, because the computer she wanted was not in. She then figured out an alternate laptop. He placed the laptop in the buggy and was ready to escort her to the front. Just before leaving the area, she asked where the laptop was made. I'm not sure what she asked. All I know is that he told her that it was not made in the US.
First off, let me say this computer was a Toshiba.
The sales man said that the laptop was not made in America. If she wanted a laptop made in America, her best bet was a Gateway. (Of course, her best bet would really be a Dell, but even they are made from foreign parts.)
Anyway, I made it immediately clear to him that we were buying now. Actually, I said that I would take the one in the buggy, not realizing that it wasn't the one that my mother wanted. He was more than happy to help some one who was actually buying. Even though he didn't have any in stock and had to have one shipped in from Kentucky.
He said that it was the third day that he had waited on that lady. He even had her on the way to register today. She has clearly spent hours in the store with him.
Some people have no respect for other people's time.
