WTF! Where’s a sales associate when you need one?

Here’s a question, why is it that I can’t walk more than two aisles at Future Shop before fifteen different ‘sales associates’ approach me to ask if I’d like to buy something, and a couple, some children, and a pram can walk out the joint with more than $3000 worth of DVD’s and BluRays.

So, if you haven’t heard the story, the city that street racing built, Richmond, was the scene of a major ‘heist’ as two adults and their children jacked a Future Shop of a shit load of movies. They walked around the aisles, as the kids pointed at movies, and the parents chucked them into the buggy. Then the buggy went out the door.

Now, we don’t even give a shit that these people stole, sure they did it with some kids in tow, and that ain’t cool, but that ain’t the point. The point is how can these so called product expert, commission hungry, float bag wearing mother fuckers not catch anything? We’ll tell you why!

It’s because the items they purchased weren’t eligible for a product protection plan.Why would a sales associate even bother helping or looking their direction if there’s no money to be made? It’s known right across the Lower Mainland that if a Future Shop salesperson can’t try to sell you something or compare two products in their expert style (reading the product description/price tags in front of you) they won’t approach you. I mean these are highly trained professionals, they don’t have time to worry about hygiene, eating right, or God forbid, theft! That’s what the 14 year old security guard is for!

No word if the rents have been busted yet.
