No, just in the bathrooms. The tiles in the shower, the counters and sinks, and the toilets. I use Murphy’s soap on the wood floors.

Comment on Geek Squad Estimates Don’t Mean Anything by Skip

Sorry if my post offended you Agent Zimmerman. Unfortunately though, it’s not the customer’s fault Geek Squad is understaffed. Geek Squad employees need to take that up with Best Buy. That’s not the customer’s responsibility.

The customer only wants what is promised. If the Geek Squad rep tells a customer that it will take 3 days and $200, then in 3 days or less the computer needs to be ready for $200 or less. If it’s not ready or the price needs to increase, then it is the Geek Squad’s responsibility to let the customer know that.

Basically, the customer doesn’t care about the employment conditions you have to live with or how many other computers are waiting to be fixed. If you don’t like those conditions, you need to change them. We really don’t care. Just do the work you promised, at the price you promised, in the time you promised and we’re happy.

Any one of you people would be crying if you worked my soon to be Ex job for even one day.
The time lag is because of NO PEOPLE. Go to another store or complain about bestbuy,
But it is NOT their fault your computer is in a line of 20.
Superheros don’t exist. Only people who expect them..

I so wish I could describe the amount of s*** sits back there Waiting to get worked on,
Enough to make the average man cry. You have no idea,
And about your quote times, well. They should be quoting you 8-10 days on average in a place like that,
Unfortunately new people don’t take well to status quo, apologize for that.

Other then that your problems are because IT’S IMPOSSIBLE to do what is expected of the average agent in an understaffed Geeksquad precinct and most of them are understaffed. Everyone’s quitting. b**** at bestbuy.

Comment on Netflix Price Hike Destroys Customer Opinions by Skip

The only problem I’ve seen with WalMart.com’s streaming service is that for a movie you’re looking at $2.99-$5.99 to rent it for 24 hours. In comparison with Netflix’s unlimited subscription plan… well, it really doesn’t compare even at the $7.99 a month Netflix price tag. Streaming TV shows are also rather expensive at $1.99-2.99 per episode for a meager 24 hour rental.

While Netflix’s price increase is dramatic, I haven’t found a comparable solution for price, service and title availability. I’m still looking…

This subscription price increase of Netflix definitely increases the cancellation of subscriptions of their costumers and if this is to be continued, they might end up with total withdrawal of subscriptions by its valued consumers. Professionals think that Netflix’s recent news of a sixty percent price increase will send over two million paying consumers for the exits. These customers likely definitely won’t be ready to get away from loading content on demand completely, leaving a gap for businesses like Wal-Mart. Through the recently obtained VUDU service, Wal-Mart will offer customers streaming HD movies and TV via WalMart.com. This could get the company hundreds of thousands in personal loans. Netflix should really value its consumers’ opinions before making such outrageous decisions because these people are the cause of its success in their field but if it doesn’t, then, let’s just wait and see their future.

I think that the word “EPIC” is so EPIC, that every time I say the word “EPIC”, it has to be in all capital letters!

Comment on Advertising Survey Results by Robin

Good study Skip. Thank you for letting me be part of it! I can tell you that the commercials I remember & have enjoyed the most have all been with animals! ( of course right?!) I still remember the commercial back in the 60′s advertising tea bags using chimps playing drums. Every year I look forward to the Christmas commercial with the dog & cat for Petco , where the cat climbs onto the dog who is standing on a chair & they are looking for their Christmas presents don’t see the presents but I smell cat nip! LOL that is one of my very favorites! The newer one I like is the one with the turtle wife /husband advertising for the internet.

Going back into the survey, the VW Passat commercial. They never say it is the SEL in the advertisement itself, That is found in the fine print (disclaimers) that tell you that is a V6 SEL in the video and that its price is significantly greater than the starting price, So yes advertising has developed into what the General Public would call deception or schemes. But you do remember that it was a VW commericial. Good point, they probably did have a significant impact on the Darth Vader costume sales. This was an excellent survey with quite informative results especialy from those born in the 70s.

I can’t believe you were able to obtain that much information from us marking a single block each time.
Interesting.

With the TV commercials, I think one watches the commercial first in an entertainment sort of way, what will they do this time type thought. I mean look how much money is spent making the “selected” list for the Super Bowl slots. Then the kid commercials, such as the Darth Vader one, those are cute and attention getters. They can be viewed hundreds of times to just bring a smile to someone, without a clue on what the commercial was about.

good job
thanks for letting me participate
