Beware of Geek Squad

[GingeRRRBeef]

I know it's a long read but it's caution for anybody thinking of bring their computer into Geek Squad for service

http://consumerist.com/consumer/the-...unt-257108.php

This is the ultimate Geek Squad insider confession. It's 10 pages long.

Highlights:

• Wave a magic erase and reinstall wand over a used PC. SHAZAM! Now it's a new PC!
• Geek Squad agents scour your computer for those porn pics you and your girlfriend(s) took, and load it onto their thumb drives. Even the ones you thought you deleted.
• GS used to be great, until they replaced most of the actual techs with salesmen.

Raw, uncut and uncorroborated, you'll think twice about bringing your computer to Geek Squad after reading this one...

If you have geek squad come over and fix anything you might as well be asking for that kinda treatment.. morons. You'd get better support from google.com

I work for MSN and there's this Best Buy's Geek Squad department that has a strict dress code that consist of

White shirt
Black snap-on tie
black pants
white socks
black shoes
and pocket protector is optional.

Maybe that's why they're so sexually deprived.

haha I do it... but I try to cover up the socks so u can't see it. Reason is cuz I hate black socks and the fluff it leaves on my carpet .

Fuck, I cannot read that article. The whole thing reads like it was written by some 34 year old fantasy novel lover geekoff, which it was, so fuck that.

while some parts are exagerrated from my own experiences, i can say a lot of it is true, esp. the digging up personal files part

but seriously, u bring ur comp for service and perhaps it requires an intensive software fix, ie. spyware, antivirus
it really isn't surprising they'd open up a thumbnail of a naked girl on ur comp lol
a scenario where this actually helped was when they caught kiddy porn on a customer's pc, but u gotta ask, htf did u catch that? it certainly wasn't the opening video nor was it the wallpaper.

big props to the marketing guys at BB tho, the GS makes so much money for BB u wouldn't even believe it
i had to charge a granny $45 to take stuck paper outta her printer

I actually thought it was a pretty decent read. Better then some blogs on the internet...
