Forget all that... I want to check out this DJ Fuckwitt. Sounds awesome!
edit: in our computer store, we do sell all of our systems with speakers. I haven't purchased a brand name desktop for years, but I was under the impression that they all came with speakers as well.
Gawd, you sure seem to get attacked a lot where you work. Maybe it's just the selected posts I read though.

Gods I wish I was allowed to dot hat when guests swing at me! I'm only allowed to hit the button of panic under the desk, less I'm out from behind the desk, in which case, customers are fair game
Awesome job dealing with her too

It's all to do with selling computers cheaper than the competition. They cut out all the stuff that is "unnessecary" like speakers, all that extra "free" stuff you used to get with a computer etc. The idea being that if someone is selling a computer with speakers, it would be more expensive than a computer with the same spec but without them.
As for not buying a branded computer without them...I've not bought a computer for years. I tend to assemble my own XD

*noms on cookies and talks with his mouthful* faankuu *swallows* I'm just unlucky. someone at work said exactly the same thing to me "You seem to just attract violence" I think were his words. I'm not that bad! ;_;

Thanks
You'll probibly find that if someone swings at you, behind the counter or not, you are allowed to use "reasonable force". I have actually managed to find out what "reasonable" means in that one too. It means that basically you can do what you need to to get them pinned to the floor/wall/counter but once done that you CANNOT Hit them while they are down

I think it's gone a little too far when you buy a printer, but have to buy the cable to connect it to the printer separately. Or in my recent case, got an external dvd-burner for the netbook, have to buy the usb cable extra. Next obvious step: don't include the power cord. Sell the printer for $5, charge $65 for the cord to plug it in. After that? who knows, keyboard: individual keys sold separately?
As for being physically assaulted at work, I haven't had the pleasure yet, though sometimes I really wish some obnoxious asshole would take a swing at me.
Actually, a guy did shove me once, but made no further move, so I don't think I would have been able to justify self-defense. Instead I called the cops and he RAN, shouting the whole time about how he's such a tough guy, and he'd kick my ass, but right now he's gotta go do something...um...over there....

Well, that's a bit different.
The power cord you need to be able to operate the device, and power cords are often specialized and are decidedly not easily interchangeable.
Connection cords, however, at this point are pretty much standardized, and if you have a couple of devices, then you likely also have a couple of connection cords. For instance, if I rounded them all up, I have about a dozen UPS cables lying about. I also have 3 or 4 USB to mini USB as well. I have more USB cables than I have places to plug them in, even if you count both of the computers using both front and back USB ports.

Thats pretty standard. We got our first computer 15 years ago, with a printer...it had no Parrel Cable to connect it to the computer. Cables are too high profit
