I read with interest in today’s paper that hhgregg is opening up two stores in Raleigh today. Being a geek, the more electronics stores the better. Then I read further in today’s article that the salespeople work on commission.
Whoopsie.
That’s the very reason I don’t go into Circuit City anymore (well, that and their disastrous backing of Divx): no one wants a salesperson hanging on you like a cheap suit. While you may sometimes have trouble finding a salesperson in Best Buy, if you’re clueful about what you need you can save yourself a bunch of hassle.
I’ll give hhgregg a try but the minute I get hassled in the store I’m switching back to Best Buy.
Commissioned retail people are usually much more willing and able to negotiate to close a deal.
I’m pretty sure Circuit City hasn’t been on commissions for a few years… They just really ARE that annoying.
