There are a few victories in THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES. The last of the Circuit City stores are closing. Oh wait! Where will I go now to attempt to buy something but end up storming out because one of these things happened:
1. After several attempts to try and help me while I politely reply that I'm fine and don't need help, I finally give in and tell the customer service representative what I'm looking for and that I will be buying the cheapest version they have. Then he will spend the next 5 minutes trying to convince me how foolish it is to get the cheap version and if I was smart I'd buy a different one that costs twice as much, while I keep sneezing because he has too much cologne on. Then I get fed up and leave.
2. After wandering around looking at all the overpriced garbage I realize instead of paying $70 for a TV cable I should just go to the 99cent store to buy it (Even though I know I'll get lead poisoning from the 99cent store version because everything there is half lead. Even their flip flops have warnings on them).
3. I actually find something I want to buy but they won't just let me just hand them cash and then they give me change and a receipt because a transaction CAN'T BE MADE unless I give them my full name, address, and phone number. I had a guy actually refuse to let a sale go through once because I wouldn't show him my driver's license so he could take down that information. Or maybe he didn't believe that I really lived on 1234 Fart Street in Boogertown, USA.
What memories! How could a company like that go under? Oh also as their final fuck you to customers, you can't return anything you bought in their closing sale that you take home then realize is broken.

I once stood in the camera section of Circuit City for 10 minutes waiting for someone to come sell me a camera and had 5 different employees look at me from afar, but none of them came over. Then when I went to go find someone, they had all miraculously disappeared. I gave up and went to Best Buy.
