Bought my wife a portable CD player and she noticed that they charged me for the extended warranty policy. No one ever asked me if I wanted it. Mistake or on purpose? I’m thinking it was accidental, but wondered if anyone else has had this happen at CC? ---

i bet it was on purpose. here’s my thinking. to add on a warranty i’m sure you have to hit a couple extra buttons… mistakes usually involve not hitting buttons. ---

I bet it’s on purpose. They are probably like Best Buy… except Best Buy asks you if you want it, and then if you say no they get shitty with you and tell you that if it breaks don’t bring it back because they aren’t going to fix it. ---

on purpose. if it’s like when I worked at a place that sold them the check out people had a quota to meet of selling them. NTB did it to me once. ---

> [@whitey](#): > > not sure how you figure that… some of the top sales people at CC were making 50-70k a year on commission… only working like 40 hours a week too… not bad for a sales job i dunno. I just like the security of knowing exactly how much money I will have week in and week out. Comission is nice if you have a decent base salary, but im imagining that most of the people that work the floor arent making all that much hourly. it could snow for a week and the store is slow as shit so you dont make bunk. Same here in OC. If it rains, the outdoor based restaurants are fucked. A couple of weeks of crappy weather and you dont have enough money to pay the rent. ---

I’m still gonna have to. Then you get a monthly or quarterly or maybe even weekly report of what your hours are looking like. So for me, when I work 42 hours one week, i just duck out early 2 hours the next week, or whatever. Not sure how that is gonna work exactly, im still hourly for another couple of weeks. ---

The 10K raise is pretty nice though. The one i got was about $6,000 if you dont count overtime. I tell you what though, not having to work overtime this summer will be fucking great. ive NEVER had a job in OC where you get 2 days off. You are lucky if you get one at all. ---

If you only showed up for 30 hours a week, you think they wouldnt do something about it? ---
