    lol good luck... best buy Employee discount is cost price plus 5 percent... they usually dont make much money off of that shit... there is a SMALL ass possibility that there may be a decent discount off of the passport though, not sure though but the alarm systems there are CRAZILY marked up like 70% off after discount... either way best buy is gay

    exactly the employees get cost price so no high mark ups and then on top of that employee discount.

    i am not taking it personally. It's not like the employee is gonna go up to the manager and tell them "i am buying this for a friend....can i get the discount?" I am not telling anyone to risk their job. People have done it before and it can be done again. It's simple as them buying and getting money from me or the other way around.

    nah not exactly... its cost price PLUS 5 percent, or 5 percent MORE than cost price... on items such as the Sony PS2 (retail 149.99), the employee price would be like (149.47)... on other higher markup items like USB cables or monster TV cables (50 bux retail) you can get for like 5 bux after discount. its all margin

    FUCK BESTBUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got fired over giving someone the "HOOK UP"... the last dept. I worked in was wireless and they used to have phone reps (cingular, sprint, etc.) and everyone would buy them stuff they wanted in our dept because it was like they worked for us. My Sales Manager, Inventory Manager, LP and everyone else in that fucking store (504 Gwinnett) knew we did it and it was ok … THEN when BestBuy did their “lets move our GMs around” bullshit the new manager found out I had “Hooked Up” a rep and he FIRED me!!!!!!!!!!!! Well they say they let me go … they wont say I was fired but I was! So Fuck those Neo Nazi Fuckers!

    weeerrrrrrrrrd.....that fucked up man, but internal hookups are hard to keep low..there is always someone who tells on someone else. Did you find out who the snitch was?? If they didn't say you were fired...what did they say because they just can't fire you for no reason (there is one here), but they have to tell u too.

    No offense... but I honestly don't think anyone who works at Best Buy is going to risk their job to hook up a random IA.com stranger with their employee benefits.

    Oh then I guess You know my Gf, Natasha Anderson... she was the Customer Service Supervisor adn then BB fucked her out of her job...they found another position for her but damage done.

    I know for a fact they are strict on employee purchases. Even tho i am her bf she will get fired if I even hand her cash in teh store to pay for something...its hella strict and pretty wacked out if you ask me.

    well employee discounts are part of the benefits package. its kinda like going up and asking if the best buy insurance would cover your doctor's appt. do you work there? if not, then of course they're not gonna want to hook you up. same thing. if you want the employee discount, go get a job there. otherwise, shut the hell up.


    oh, and yes, they will can you in a heart beat if they find out about it. i know i'm not risking my job for some stupid hs bs like that.

    ???????? ummmm buddy u don't have reply like a damn macho man. There is a easier way to say what you said. "hs bs" do you know me?? NO....Then keep you smart answers to yourself. If you can help then come forward and if you can't say something in a nice way. Look at ct9a gsr and XBLG20 replies......learn, but in you case all i can say to you is "shut the hell up". All i asked for was a hook up and the answer is easy as Yes or no.
