Anytime I'm in Best Buy.

[–]maddawg579 136 points137 points ago

Ex-Best Buy employee here. Trust me, we want to talk to customers just as much as the customers want us talking to them.

[–]redflag45 56 points57 points ago

The feeling customers get not walking 15 feet without being nagged is the same feeling we get from our supervisors about not talking to the customers in question.

[–]All-American-Bot 47 points48 points ago

(For our friends outside the USA... 15 feet -> 4.6 m) - Yeehaw!

[–]kingtrewq 33 points34 points ago

Wow I thought 15 feet would be more than that. Seriously though can u guys just start using metric

[–]Liam_Galt 26 points27 points ago

We want to, but there would be a lot of overhead involved in that transition.

[–]jackzander 0 points1 point ago

overhead

ಠ_ಠ

Also: It makes us feel relevant.

[–]scy1192 1 point2 points ago

it's part of our culture, pretty much.

[–]nxuul 3 points4 points ago

[–]stoneshwar 1 point2 points ago

Easy to remember conversion: 6ft = 1.80m.

Everything else follows. So once you can calculate how many bodylengths of yours would fit in the given distance, you automatically have an approximate distance in ft and m.

(Being about 6ft helps)

[–]Sinavestia 0 points1 point ago

We tried, it failed.

[–]rizzorizzo -4 points-3 points ago

most educated americans can estimate conversions to metrics. but yes its alot easier than that shit standard stuff.

[–]mr_tw 1 point2 points ago

Why can't they just google 15 feet to metric of they care so much

[–]rizzorizzo -4 points-3 points ago

because. tits

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

any best buy supervisors to add to this?

[–]maddawg579 1 point2 points ago

It's no different than any large (albeit, failing) corporation. They're just trying to please their boss, who's trying to please their boss, who's trying to please their boss, and so on.

[–]cnfish 0 points1 point ago

Current retail employee I can confirm this.

[–]THE_APE_SHIT_KILLER 2 points3 points ago

I thought Best Buy didn't run on commission?

[–]kerune 0 points1 point ago

They don't. But their HACCS model is how they make money. Hardware, Accessories, Connections, Content, Services.

The money comes from everything but Hardware, which is the only thing you want from best buy because they make no money from it.

[–]Tobi_Addams 0 points1 point ago

Some places are able to recognize and find a balance between informing their customer and beating them over the head with information and "help". I'm lucky that I've landed jobs with those who understand the difference and openly state it in their training material.

It's one thing to keep your customer interested and informed because, let's face it, if someone comes into a store then chances are pretty good they're in there to buy something (not always the case, as a good number of people just like to browse, myself included); but it's quite another to put them off with a deluge of sales pitches that stink of desperation.

[–]A_Human_Like_You 2 points3 points ago

I think you mean shopping malls.

[–]scoot_mcboot 1 point2 points ago

Any Apple store

[–]USPuma 0 points1 point ago

HAHA i also feel that people want to sell me things when i go to a store to buy things. too true, too true.

[–]Sinavestia 0 points1 point ago

HH Greg. Not sure if that's local though, or even still running for that matter.

[–]electricfoxx 41 points42 points ago

[–]Bilibond 13 points14 points ago

The way he yells it just makes it hilarious.

[–]DaNoob 0 points1 point ago*

Do you know which episode this is from?

EDIT: Found it. S2E19: "Jellyfish Hunter".

[–]MrsHiMyNameIsHannah 90 points91 points ago

CHOCOLATE!

[–]BreeTea 39 points40 points ago

...sweet, sweet, chuwocolate..

[–]CaptainSpalding 36 points37 points ago

I always HATED it!

This isn't for eating! It's for-

[–]Hobbes4247791 36 points37 points ago

You rub it on your skin, and it makes you live forever!

[–]mexicanfoodtogo 22 points23 points ago

Live forever you say? I'll take one!

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points ago

NO! Do you have any idea what you've done?!

[–]FreeDirt 2 points3 points ago

Is this referencing an episode I have not seen? Request for reference point please?

[–]Hobbes4247791 23 points24 points ago

Surely you've seen "Chocolate with Nuts"?

If you haven't let me know your address so I can send Flats to kick your butt.

[–]tsm192 4 points5 points ago

omg that's just a disgrace as a human being if you've never seen that episode.

[–]MrsHiMyNameIsHannah 0 points1 point ago

It makes you less ugly!

[–]MASTURBATES_TO_CATS 3 points4 points ago

[–]TsarCastic 9 points10 points ago

Boy that escalated quickly

[–]dog_on_my_head 49 points50 points ago

They're trying to sell him timeshares.

[–]plasmalaser1 24 points25 points ago

Free weekend in aspen? I'll bite

[–]Pelleas 15 points16 points ago

Spongebob'll asphyxiate.

[–]Pootytang001 5 points6 points ago

I think he can actually survive in snow, though I don't remember the episode I saw that in.

[–]FamilyToad 7 points8 points ago

[–]monkeyf1st 5 points6 points ago

I'M DIRTY DAN!

[–]Goobz24 3 points4 points ago

Can't be complete without the face.

[–]thefool_onthehill 10 points11 points ago

There actually was a semi-recent episode where someone actually tried to sell Spongebob and Sandy timeshares...

[–]cats4gold 11 points12 points ago

Karate Island?

[–]tsm192 2 points3 points ago

the power withinnnn the power withinnnn

[–]srikanthb23 22 points23 points ago

Anyone else just watch the 100 moments in spongebob video in r/videos?

[–]plasmalaser1 14 points15 points ago

Link?

[–]Hobbes4247791 3 points4 points ago

I'm glad these are still funny. My childhood was clearly well-spent.

...Heehee, "POOP."

[–]omnomnomnomnomnomn0m 4 points5 points ago

I'll watch this later

[–]MushroomFarm 1 point2 points ago

This show brings back memories..

[–]I_Ovulate_Daily 1 point2 points ago

Commenting so I can watch later

[–]Mypenisblack 4 points5 points ago

You could always try Reddit Enhancement Suite and save the comment.

[–]I_Ovulate_Daily 8 points9 points ago

If only they had it for smart phones

[–]admiralsfan 4 points5 points ago

I bet Alien Blue will get it on their app someday.

[–]WhiteyMcJJ 2 points3 points ago

You can email it to yourself through Alienblue

Opera Mobile Labs supports extensions, including RES. Basically Opera Mobile 11 with Extensions support

[–]ohaithere123098 -2 points-1 points ago

Same

[–]knightlyspartan534 0 points1 point ago

I wish the scenes were longer. I loved it anyways, I had to share this with a friend.

[–]MrAsianese -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Dragday 22 points23 points ago

I can't walk 10 minutes at night without glancing back.

I always feel like someone with hands inside the pockets of a green jacket with hood and jeans would be following me.

[–]fucksmith 45 points46 points ago

That's because I am.

[–]UnfoundHero 3 points4 points ago

Thank you, fucksmith, for making me feel more secure while walking at night.

[–]Hobbes4247791 3 points4 points ago

Perhaps someone like Hollywood Superstar Shia Lebeouf?

[–]drempire 5 points6 points ago

My daughter and i watched this today, i have every single spongebob show i could find, my daughter loves spongbob and its a great excuse to watch the show, we have had 3 days of marathon spongbob

[–]HibernateToLive 16 points17 points ago

Back when Spongebob was watchable.

[–]JTorres8909 3 points4 points ago

Since when was it not watchable? I still watch it when I get home from high school and I'm a senior.

[–]oldnewport55 21 points22 points ago

I think he means the older episodes that were better

[–]ARRARREM 3 points4 points ago

People just say this because they have nostalgia. There really isn't anything wrong with it now.

[–]sn140 2 points3 points ago

Agreed. Of course I loved the old episodes, but there is nothing wrong with the new episodes.

[–]Phatz -5 points-4 points ago

The new episodes are too violent and the humor just doesn't stand out to me. I seems more like they use the injuries that the characters endure as their jokes. That being said, there are some new ones that are entertaining.

[–]Kakodoyo 2 points3 points ago

MY LEG!

[–]ItsReallyJustAHorse 0 points1 point ago

see: Tom and Jerry

[–]FacedJared 1 point2 points ago

Or people say it because the humor changes. I'm guessing you don't watch the show.

[–]Doug_is_fresh 2 points3 points ago

I tend to disagree, after season 3 I think the humor completely dropped off.

[–]scy1192 0 points1 point ago

over 65 years old and still in high school, eh?

[–]XSeveredX[S] 25 points26 points ago

Front page? Fuck yeah! :)

[–]allven434 7 points8 points ago

-2? That's a shame, people raining on your parade. Here's an upvote, just to make you feel better <3

[–]XSeveredX[S] 10 points11 points ago

I knew I was gonna get downvoted for it but the urge to brag was too much for me to stop myself. I'm a weak, weak man!

[–]omnomnomnomnomnomn0m 9 points10 points ago

Sponge bob has really been dumbed down now.

[–]Psythik 0 points1 point ago

Context?

[–]dedtigers 0 points1 point ago

This is my all time favorite Spongebob moment

[–]The_Mexorcist26 0 points1 point ago

My favorite spongebob moments will always be when the had Pantera play on an episode.

[–]ForeveraReject 0 points1 point ago

I miss Spongebob, the good old ones, when it was funny.

Oh god, my life is now complete. Thank you randomdebater!

[–]Imterriblyvexed 0 points1 point ago

Ah yes. In its heyday, spongebob was quite sophisticated in some of its humor. I mean nosferatu references?

Peter Sellers, yes.

Salesmen, not so much.
