To get things started off properly we decided to buy a new TV. Some of you may run out and buy a new TV before the Superbowl, well this is my Superbowl.
Cari and I chose a TV online and headed over to Best Buy to pick it up.
When we arrived we walked through the television aisles to take a look at the displays before loading up the one we had chosen. We were greeted by a salesman who offered his help. When we told him we didn't have any questions he hovered for a moment and then moved along. Two minutes later a different salesman came over to offer help. When we tried to shoo him away, he persisted a little longer than the first. With our cart, we headed toward the box we wanted and a third salesman approached us. This guy had a DirecTV logo on his shirt. When I told him we were about to load up the one we wanted he said he wanted to tell me about a "Super special offer". I looked toward him and smiled. "No thanks", I said.
He took a step toward me and started talking. I waved him away with my hand and told him we weren't interested. He looked shocked that someone didn't want to hear about the super special offer.
I couldn't wait to get out of the store before even more of the blue-shirt vultures descended on my family and I. Buying a new TV should be a fun experience but Best Buy insists on making it annoying and stressful.
When I am watching the Daytona 500 this afternoon on my new HD TV - I'm going to be cheering for someone to put that Best Buy car into the wall. That would be annoying and stressful to them.
