Mass Consumerism and Best Buy

SOME Best Buy Employees Are A Bunch Of Wiis – Gizmodo

“They were handing out tickets along the front half of the store. They had 62. People with the tickets started going in, but the Best Buy guy was still hading out papers. He’s talking to a customer who just got a ticket, when a confused person from the back of the line politely asks, ‘Excuse me, what is this line for?’ The employee turns around, ‘I AM TALKING TO ONE PERSON!’ Then he turns his back on the guy and continues his conversation. You could tell the Best Buy guy was totally getting off on it…they made us feel like we were the bad kids.”

I just find this all too sad. Yes, that’s right everyone line up like cattle to purchase the “hot new” thing because they tell you that you must have it and all your kids need it too. It’s just like the stories of people getting shot over the Playstaion 3 console.

That’s right line up because it’s black Friday or it’s the holiday season. This even reminds me of back in the day when I was a teen growing up in NYC and people were getting shot over Michael Jordan sneakers. Thank goodness Stephon Marbury is selling $15 sneakers. Finally, someone who has risen up to stop the madness.
