Last I knew around here... they get paid on commision with the Manager
being the only one with an hourly pay.
And that goes a LONG ways to explain why they don't *want* to care about
the little $1 and $2 components, but would rather sign you to a DirecTV
or Cell Phone, or MSN service. It is the only way for them to make any
real money out of the place.
At least the local Rat Shack that I go to isn't too bad to deal with
service wise. The reason being is these guys like I said above, don't
care about the little parts, and really don't want to waste time helping
someone with them. That is time wasted that they could be trying to
convince someone to buy a high priced item or service or anything that
might make their weekly pay check come close to that of a McD's burger
flipper.
That works out in my favor. I can walk in to the store, head right to the
misc parts section, and watch every sales goon turn around and walk away
from me. From them, NO help is GOOD help.
