HEY all you high paid fat ### CEO's (1 Viewer)

Want to improve your profits?

How about you go into your stores as a customer, or try calling your customer support. Then you'll see why profits aren't what they could be.

I purchased a couple computers. Plus I called tech support because I can't watch live TV (I "can" but read on).

First stop was at an Apple store where the woman who "set-up" our computer seemed to be struggling getting it out of it's box. When a male co-worker offered her assistance... She rudely dismissed him and mumbled to my wife and I "Just cause I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't do this." Then she seemed to struggle while setting up what seemed to me basic settings. When we tried to set up "the cloud key?" We were told by another clerk that it wasn't possible in the store due to traffic. But we should be able to do it at home...

Next stop was at Staples to buy a Dell. Lots of employees wandering about chit chatting with one another... Finally found a computer guy to assist. We had researched the model online and found that the store had 2 in stock. 5 minutes to find one of the two. We were asked about what we intend to use it for. "Surfing the web, e-mail, and Quicken". Hmmmm... few more questions. Then more questions. Finally I said in a nice tone because I wasn't very annoyed at this point. "Will this work for what I'm doing?" answer was ":most definitely". Then the sales pitch to migrate everything over from our old computer. ("It's $99- and will take 48 hours", "No thanks we'll do it ourselves") "But, BUT BUTTTT! There are many things that could go wrong..." Now comes the warranty pitch , with the same results. Then the virus talk. Told us it was $160ish dollars for 2 years and he'd install it right now. "gonna take 15-20 minutes" OK. We'll take the virus protection.

Check out time... This process took at least 10 minutes due to the register being slow or him typing in the wrong info and needed a managers assistance. While we waited in line to check out, an automated message rang out saying that a customer needed service on line 1. That's when one of the employees proclaimed in front of the manager that he wasn't getting sucked into taking another one of those calls. That seemed to be funny to everyone including the manager. I never saw anyone answer the call.

Our computer tech guy was going to load the software while we wandered the store. After 15 minutes of wandering about we get back to the tech center and our computer guy is talking to another customer while many of the other employees are chit chatting amongst themselves. "This product sucks because it's a tablet" "I got this job while online gaming with the manager" "yuck yuck yuck". Our virus protection hadn't been completed. "Just a few more minutes" we were told.

All told, it took well over an hour to get out of this store. The knots in my back were quite tight.

Finally we are home and I turn on the TV to watch the news. OOPS! I forgot that the last few times I tried to watch live TV, it didn't work. Bit of a back story here. Called TIVO about an issue with recording programs. They blame Comcast, and Comcast is called to send out tech. I take a day off and Tech never arrives and I find out tech is scheduled for a night I have friends coming over. reschedule for 5 days later. Tech arrives with attitude and says problem is TIVO's fault. Conference with TIVO (3rd stringer) and Comcast tech leaves pissed off due to TiVo problem.

Problems continue with TV and I talk to TIVO again. They say that they are aware of my problem and are working on a solution... (then why did you make me call Comcast???) I spend more time on the phone explaining in agonizing detail what my issues were.

More calls with Tivo and problems go away and then come back. After numerous calls Tivo asks me to reload all the programs I want to record and asks me to record "all available". I comply and am rewarded with 3-5 recordings of the same episode. Some of them are watchable. Some of them are not.

Four days ago I stopped bring able to watch live TV. I had life going on, so no time to call Tivo. Today, after a frustrating day I wanted to lose myself in the local news. turned on TV only to be reminded that it wasn't "supported".

"Let's call Tivo" while preparing dinner. First call lost after 20 minutes. Second call lasted 30 minutes and ended with "that systems down". "I tried to access it many different ways and my manager said that you should call back tomorrow to see if the system is working." "Perhaps you could leave a note on a post it on your managers door so I don't have to call back again..." "I can do that but I think it's best that you call back to be sure this gets resolved..."

I have to believe that these CEO's have a brain. Why not use it?

 
When a male co-worker offered her assistance... She rudely dismissed him and mumbled to my wife and I "Just cause I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't do this."
My wife and ME. Not I. You wouldn't say "she mumbled to I".... You would say " She mumbled to me".

Those CEOs probably know that.

 
Today, after a frustrating day I wanted to lose myself in the local news.
:lmao: Oh, Brock Chapman, how I count the minutes of each day waiting to wrap myself in the warm embrace of your double homicide recap and now a look at the 10 day forecast.

What about high paid fat asses who aren't CEOs?

Or thin and poor CEOs?
TS this is only meant for the fat and wealthy CEO's
Neither Tim Cook nor Ron Sargent are fat. You may need to rethink this.
"fat" is a relative term.BTW-WTH are those guys?

tia
CEOs of Apple and Staples. It doesn't seem like you really thought this through.
I think he should go to the Apple announcement and ask Tim Cook directly.I look forward to hearing his response.

$160 for Virus protection? Lol. They had to be throwing high fives at landing another sucker. Jesus, how in gods name did you agree to that?

It takes less than 2 minutes to install and set up Avast for free.

Also - if you knew exactly what computers you wanted, why not just order them online so you don't have to deal with these lesser people?
