So I went to Best Buy to buy some stuff with a giftcard I got for Secret Santa (shout out to Thomas Yun! =DD). I reserved pokemon and got some imported figurine as a bonus. Also bought some new screen protectors, so I can tap the touch screen with my finger. All in all, the total came up to be around $10.
Got in a long ass line for the register, only to be greeted by some ghetto Filipino. I wouldn't really care so much if the following didn't happen. First, I asked him for information on the rewards program because there's supposed to be some sort of bonus for the purchases I was about to make. He looked clueless and frantically looked through a catalog, only for me to point it out for him. He tried to act cool and pretend to know what he was doing, but he failed. He sort of had this annoyed attitude with me, maybe it was because I asked something he didn't know about. He forgot to scan the screen protectors and I made a joke to ease the situation. He gave me a shady smirk.
Here's the kicker: after sliding my gift card, he tosses it to the side of the register. He quickly handed me the receipt and gave me a fake smile. "Have a great day," he remarked. Now I don't know about you guys, but usually the employee is supposed to offer the giftcard back to you (even if there's a zero balance). I'm pretty sure they wouldn't just casually toss it to the side, they would at least insert it in the cash register. [I double checked all of this with customer service at Best Buy, so I'm not just pulling it out of the air]. I stared back and said, "Dude, my giftcard still has cash. Let me have it." He gave me one of the worst acting routines I've ever seen: "Oh, really?," He said. He scanned my card after "finding" it and said, "Oh yeah."
Real Slick Bro.
I had to double check if he gave me back my real gift card at another register. Just to be safe, I also called customer support and asked if a person could steal my balance with just the pin number. Story's not over. The next day, I realized he double scanned the Screen Protectors. I didn't even get my reservation ticket; I would've lost $5 and my reservation. Had I not been on the ball and checked my receipt, I wouldn't have even seen this. So I had to waste gas and drive all the way back to Best Buy. I sorted it out with customer service and submiting a formal complaint online. I was assured justice would be served. I don't have the dude's name, but I have his employee number. I drew a picture so you guys could be wary. Guy tries to jack me, AND causes me hella trouble. I yelped their asses, and I hope that guy gets fired. Those are the type of stereotypical public school kids that make me embarrassed to be Filipino. I like how they treat their loyal customers (I've put in a lot of cash over the years, specifically that branch too); its insulting. Last time I'll be buying from there.
