Commission my ass!!
The one thing I've always hated about the Future Shop store by my house is how crass, aggressive, and rude their sales people can be. Today I went to Future Shop to buy a spindle of DVDs for my dad, and upon walking into the store I immediately asked where the sale DVDs were located. The man grunted and pointed his arm to my right and I just wandered around looking for them. Eventually I found it, but couldn't find the ones I wanted so asked a group of sales associates if they had any more. One man nominated his colleague and annoyingly said "can you go help her?". What was his problem? It's not like they were doing anything anyway.
So the victim approached me and asked me what I wanted help with (didn't I just tell them?) and so I repeated my question to see if they had anymore -R DVDs. We walked over to the one display with a few spindles of DVD +R left and interrogating me he asked "so where were you yesterday when everyone else was buying them?" Like WTF? So I replied, "I was working like most people?" What the hell? In the corner of my eye I saw more spindles and walked over and found some -R DVDs. "Oh I guess they aren't all sold out." Yeah, no shit Sherlock. So I grabbed mine and he proceeded to put some sort of sticky note with a code on it. I asked him what it was for he said, "don't worry, just go to the cashier."
Did he think I was stupid? No fucking commission for you! He was really rude, and there wasn't any way I was going to let him profit off of it. So I walked away, ripped off the sticky note and crumpled it in my hand and threw it out. That stupid little cheeky bastard who tried to play me for stupid. Normally if a sales person has been really helpful, I'll ask if they get commission and if they do I'm always sure to get their name and tell the cashier. After a few experiences at the Future Shop at Heartland, I've decided to never go there again. I'd much rather make the trip to Best Buy and pay a little more.

I feel your pain. When I go into Future Shop by myself, I run in, buy my stuff and get out so they don't bother me. But when I go in with my dad and we stand in one spot for too long, the sale ppl find us and try to sell us the whole store plus the warranty!
A tip: Sometimes the price for some products at future shop are cheaper than best buy (i have no idea why...VERY inefficient), so its best to check the FS website and then go to BB and price match! I don't know if they'll bring it down even more, but for sure they'll match the price.
