probably but u rly want to get someone who knows what their doing. a thatch roof done by an expert, properly, will last longer than the fanciest standinging seam metal roof installed by an idiot. a bunch of mexicans working for a subcontractor did mine and they did an awesome job

the expensive part is that half of what those guys get paid the employer pays in workers comp insurance and they have to have that if theyre licensed insured bonded.

They don't sell graphics cards or any sort of PC upgrades. I can't buy proper mice there or non-poo poo keyboards. No internal or external hard drives can be purchased, I can't buy routers or LAN devices. They don't sell PC games either.

I can buy a shitload of crappy laptops, tablets, and refurbished and new Xbox ones though.


I asked about the 360 and they didn't even offer that.

What is this store good for if I can't help me get my PC game on? Seriously Microsoft used to be all about PC gaming, what happened?

speaking of which i still love their unevenly branded poo poo

like, i googled for microsoft games EVEN THINKING ABOUT a 1990s esque looking page that may have referenced it (monster truck madness)

the real page is this:

http://www.microsoft.com/games/

which apparently was last updated for windows 8 release and makes no mention of xbox one

and uses their "dummy template" sort of web ui and nothing to bring it into their whole site

i dont think the ppl in the fun colors are the corporate retail store bosses. i think theyre the retail workers, which they are. whcih is why they dont like being swamped. face it dude, you really blew it on this one.

oh i understand how you misread my statements, no, i was not referring to the retail employees but the corporate ones who were stacking all that cash money.

the retail employees understand they are in a retail job, usually in college at the same time from what i've found in my trips to apple stores. they don't expect to stack bills however they do seem happy to have the chance to work with a big name in their upcoming hopeful career path

working at a microsoft store must be like that plus that element je ne sais quoi such like running a lemonade stand that nobody visits

can you imagine if something actually did become popular at a microsoft store? holy hell

do they even have contingency plans in place for that?

if an apple store becomes too busy to manage, they form lines within a mall to the nearest exit and have people queue up outside it, so that things can work smoothly taking in new customers one by one as they are able to

they have people willingly stand in lines which can extend out of the mall into the parking lot to get into their store

i dont think wearing similar retail outfits and name badges is going to confuse anyone and if it does they are going to ask if they can get a new iphone or whatever and be pointed to the line

ur statements were not relevent to the discussion, the discussion about the retail workers. they were total non sequiturs and not like 'the farside' comic but more l;ike a brain addled by adderall or methamphetamine.
