Uh, guys, I used to work for Geek Squad, and people bought these services every single day. The people these services are supposed to be for are the ones that are so ****ing rich or so ****ing dumb (or both, which is usually the case) they don't care about how it works. They just want it to work. When I worked there we sold about 10 ADR's a day. That's $200 and it's a ****ing Windows reinstall, for christ's sake. You didn't even get data backup included with it, that was another $99. Not only that, you had to provide YOUR OWN WINDOWS DISC, and if you didn't have one, you had to BUY A NEW ONE at full retail price before we'd touch your computer! So yeah, we were charging you $200 for ... practically nothing. Just an hour of labor (and it'll also take 3-5 days to get your computer back, did I mention that?) I frequently charged people upwards of $400-$500 for services to fix a three year old computer that originally cost as much and wasn't worth half that then.
These people are also known as Rich Yuppie Douchebags, and believe me, they deserve every bit of what they have to pay for. They're all a bunch of whiny self-centered assholes. When you work retail, especially at Best Buy, you grow to loathe these people. When someone who bought a bottom-shelf Dell for $299.99 six months ago came in and said I'd better fix his computer for free because he just spent a ton of money on it, I wanted to murder that person. Seriously. And this happened at least once a day. That's not the worst experience I had by far, just the only one I feel like having to remember right now.
God, I hated that job with a ****ing passion. Worst job I've ever had in my entire life, tbh. My biggest regret in my life is having to know that Geek Squad/Best Buy will never go out of business because dumb rich ****ers will keep on buying no matter how badly they're getting ****ed.
