OT: Best Buy

[vdub.grego at gmail.com (Matt Gregory)]

So, this jerk in a "hurry" spent LESS time arguing about NOT showing  
his receipt than he would have either 1) just whipping it out right  
there in the parking lot or 2) simply waiting in the line, which I  
can't imagine could be more than a 5 min wait.  Not to mention the  
time he spent blogging about it.  HIS hurry is more important than  
the hurries of the 20 or whatever other people in line?  Everyone is  
in a hurry, and the holidays make it worse, everyone knows that.  It  
takes everyone longer to get places, longer to shop there, and longer  
to get back.  And he knows how Best Buy works.  If he didn't have  
time to expect to show his receipt when he left he should have gone  
another time.  Sure it sucks and I don't particularly like it either  
but jeez, get over it.

Flame on.
