Is arrogance a prerequisite for working at Best Buy? Wanting to retrieve some files from old zip disks, I stopped by the local Best Buy tonight in Roseville, Minnesota to ask about an external zip drive. Now I know zip disks are a thing of the past, but you would have thought, judging by the reaction I received, that I had asked for directions to the outhouse. Looking down his nose at me, the clerk told me that Best Buy no longer carries zip drives, and neither do the other retail stores, like CompUSA. My best bet, he said, would be to find a computer shop that carries old computer parts. Thankfully, knowledge gained from experience had me driving over to CompUSA where, with the help of a very friendly clerk, I found a variety of zip drives. What I want to know is have I just had bad experiences or are all Best Buys staffed with haughty know-it-alls who actually know next to nothing? From now on, even though it is less convenient, I’m going to CompUSA first.
