Places like Best Buy are for sheep who don't know any better. There's no
way I would allow some minimum wage doofus working at any random retail
chain like that to mess with my electronics - especially computers.

Personally I hate shopping with a passion. It's boring, people suck, and I
have way more enjoyable things to do than wander around a store gawking at
shit I don't need. When I do go, I'm in, get what I need, and out again as
fast as possible.
