Dear Customers of C.C.

[CdrTbj]

Yes I understand that the firedog bench is the only place in town that does PC repair, yes i realize that you bought ur computer here and it sucks that we can't service it. Please don't tell me, "This is why ur going out of business". That is untrue, we are no longer offering the service bc we ARE out of business not the other way around.
Yes I understand that we don't have much of a selection, once again that is as a result of the liquidation. Thank u for your complete lack of patience, understanding, empathy, and intelligence.

P.S. I know the sale sucks and u would have got a better deal with our standard sale prices but look at it this way; if u had come in a little more in the past couple years we might still be in business.

Ah, the old "You're not giving me what I want, your company is going out of business because of such BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!" deal.

*smacks SC upside the head*

Actually, if the corporate bigwigs hadn't done boneheaded things like firing their most experienced retail staff and enacting policies that piss the customers and the suppliers off, CC would still be around.

I'm so sorry you're working at a location that is closing and going through liquidation. I worked at Media Play during it's death throes and it was far from pretty. I actually rate it as my most miserable retail experience ever. And a lot of people consider my current p/t job at *big box retail* hell.

I wish you the best and recommend looking for other work NOW. If you're offered another position, take it NOW. I stayed because I really liked the people I worked with, but now I wish I hadn't done it. It simply wasn't worth my sanity and emotional well-being.

And be prepared. As you've seen, scavengers come out in waves. They are bottom-feeders, scum of the earth. Sorry, but very few customers acted sympathic to me working through hell and becoming unemployed. Even with all the recent layoffs in my city, I hear people bitch about the lack of discounts at Circuit City. Give me a break. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Don't take it out on the employees, they have no control. Shut up, these people are losing their jobs so quit acting like a tough guy because you chewed an employee out. Yes, I've heard people brag about it.

Seriously, try not to let it get to you. Good luck job-hunting and best wishes.

Oh, and now that I'm done ranting, the guy was an idiot

You are right Mike, it just pisses me off that there have been more customers in my store since the company announced it was going under then during the entire christmas season.
Thx for the wishes bainsidhe, ive already applied at the local shack of the radio and the jail

[Mike Taylor]

What you're going through is what everyone has gone through who has closed a store. Jerkwad customers are part of it, sadly.

[powerboy]

I do feel bad about you being out of a job. But CC, did have it coming. Wjat with them costing more, then at other places. I did go there one day last week and picked up another audio recorder

[wraiths_crono]

Yeah people like that are stupid, even better when the local news is bashing CC because they are not 'overly accommodating' now that they are closing.. WTF?!

This got me thinking, being a Corrections Officer and being in Retail have a few similarities: Part of your job is to keep people in, you get a uniform, you're hated by your customers, complaints are always filed, never processed (unless it's against you), and if you mess up a tiny bit, the world crashes on you.

But I don't think in retail you have to worry about the customers rapi- sorry, I can't complete that!

Especially when it's the liquidators that are setting policy in the stores and not Circuit City itself.

Because "overly accommodating" is something a company going out of business should be, so that they can retain customers for their company that is freakin' going out of business.

The whole point of a liquidation is get rid of everything in advance of a store closing, not to retain customers. Oh well, nobody ever said you had to be smart to work in the mass media.

I hear that being smart disqualifies you from working for a certain big network that rhymes with "Box Spews"

Or, at least that's the impression one can get from their 'news coverage' and selective memories.
