And I thought I was smart when I bought overpriced electronics at Best Buy with my Best Buy CC to earn points and submitted them as business expenses (early in my career for an SMB, I would just walk across the street to the Best Buy to buy all the IT equipment the company needed).
this is on the store leadership, they are supposed to be checking the override report daily…
I don’t know Best Buy policy but you would think anything over a certain percent would maybe require two folks to sign off or be immediately flagged for future review by higher ups/corporate.
I can’t imagine there’s many times where a manager will legitimately need to discount a brand new laptop for 99%.
Lol back in the 90s a high school kid unloaded a best buy truck into his car…almost nailed it but when the cops showed up at school it was all over. He was bragging like crazy. Best Buy employees are always looking for a good deal it seems 😁
bro should’ve just bought all the RAM
I see no crime
why does the article shift to an entirely different story 1/3 of the way through?
Managers have a 99% off code??????
Good for him. Companies screw over employees as part of their policy. Employees should return the effort.
The fact that this wasn’t caught after a couple days is worrying
Okay but the Dow is over 50K. People just need to move on.
I’m sure he will receive a penalty that is 1000x more severe than CEOs and business leaders received for the 2008 financial crisis.
I am so unconcerned with shit like this when we have billionaires looting our economy with no repercussions. The worst thing about the story is that he was caught. I wish him well.
Crazy that they named this dude, but we can’t find out the names of child rapers in the Epstein files.
They need to investigate themselves
Then he got some late-night commercials and started PASSING THE SAVINGS ON TO YOUUUUU!!!!!!!
Sounds like he is destined for a C Suite roll eventually.
Crazy that this dude gets his name put on a national headline, likely fucking up any future background checks, just because he technically „stole“ from the store. He should’ve just touched kids or something, that way he’d at least remain anonymous
Damn. They’ll name this guy but not the pedophiles? Must be his fault the DOW isn’t currently 50k.
what’s the discount code?
That store must have been like top in its district for the managers to be coasting like that and not catching 150 Macbook price overrides. At the store I worked at every price override was checked, especially items that are never discounted or price matched like a Macbook would be caught and questioned the first time.
So store manager has the piwer to discount upto 99%.
Interesting, who was stupid enough to come up with a power like that for the store level employees
Oh hey! People did this at the Target store where I worked years ago. Bonus was they rang up other store employees who applied their employee discount on top of the manual price adjustment 🤣
Maybe they wouldn’t have to resort to schemes like this if they could afford the cost of living ffs
I’m at the point where I don’t give a single fuck if you flip burgers or if you work in an office. You should get paid bare minimum enough to afford to live. Not live paycheck to paycheck.
I worked in the front lanes in 2005. I memorized every employee discount code.
Why is it that when something happens to a person, police just say „it’s a civil matter 🤷“ and do nothing (things like, car being repossessed even though the owner has a clean title, theft by conversion, etc).
But, when it’s a multi-billion dollar company that sure as shit has the resources to make it a civil matter, all the sudden people are getting arrested.
I mean, I know police and DA are slightly different entities, and the scale of the crimes can be different. But still. Crimes should be scaled with the affect on the victim/plantif, and the resources of the defendant.
And the public prosecutors should prioritize people that don’t have the resources themselves.
Or just burn it all down 🤷
