First day, what should I expect lads

Glad you had a good first day OP

Hey, OP. Let me take you on a journey what it's like (don't work for Geek Squad, but do aftersales and shit for a European franchise, so same shite)

>OH BOI I get to fiddle with technology every day
>2 months later
>oh god, it's the dumb cunt with her shitty printer again
>40 minutes overtime because some asscunt of a customer had to come have their phone locked just before closing, so you have to play the world's biggest detective trying to trace back which accounts they locked their phone to with an endless loop of resetting passwords
>lying cunts who say they've never exposed their phone to water or extreme heat
>lying cunts who say they've already tried restarting the device THE PROPER WAY YES BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON AND MANUALLY TAPPING REBOOT I HAVE DONE THAT WHY ARE YOU BEING CONDESENDING I AM YOUR CUSTOMER I PAY YOUR WAGES GIVE ME A BLOWJOB WHILE YOU FIX MY PHONE
>disgusting keyboards that haven't been cleaned or disinfected in 7 years
>said laptop also happens to contain several "teen porn" searches
>lots of DRIVER SUPER PERFORMANCE UPDATER PRO
>"NO, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW A SIMPLE THREE STEP INSTRUCTION, WHY DO YOU THINK I AM HERE?"
>"I don't want the Chromes, I want the Windows, you have the Windows, right? I need it for my internet"
>"But why doesn't it work? Can this just happen out of nowhere? I want you to fix it for free, I demand it"

THE FUCK DO YOU WANT, BITCH? SHOULD I THROUGHTLY TEACH YOU HOW FUCKING MOTHERBOARD CONDUCTORS WORK? SURE, SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW A SINGLE EVENT UPSET CAN MAKE YOUR SHIT CRASH AND WHY THIS SPECIFIC PIECE OF CODE DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO DO THIS VERY SPECIFIC THING NOT A SINGLE FUCKING HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET WOULD EVER WANT IT TO DO

I AM FUCKING LIVID AND I WANT TO KILL MYSELF BUT I DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE I LIKE LIVING A BIT MORE SO IT'S ALRIGHT

Accurate representation of who I have to deal with. Not even exaggerating.

Store 28 reporting in. It's trash. I work in sales but in PC so I often do setups since our Geek Squad is autistic. Glad I start my new job the 10th and leave this store the 7th.

Closeted homofags and one guy that sucks off all the coworkers in the bathroom

Spilled liquids.
Sticky keyboards.
Crumbs.
Roaches.
Cum-puters.

the repair shop that i work at gets SO MANY FUCKING REWORKS FROM EEKSQUAD i end up fixing the shit the shitty eek squad cant fucking fix

>>"But why doesn't it work? Can this just happen out of nowhere? I want you to fix it for free, I demand it"

Oh man, this one... you are going to hear this shit so fucking much and you will be pissed off when your manager overrides you and has you fix their shit 'because of how much money they bring to the store'...

Also, you are going to become the fix-it-bitch for the entire store management team.

That's it's absolute shit. Everything Geek Squad does can be done by yourself for way cheaper, and probably even free.

find anything good?

>when the first post is also the best post

This is actually pretty accurate.

One of my favorites;
>Lady claims the radiation her PC gives off make her hands numb and she gets cramps
>Cant use New PCs due to this, uses a PowerBook G4 connected to an older CCFL monitor
>Husband 'engineer' builds her a Faraday cage for her PC which is still plugged into wall outlet
>By the point she calls me she's just finished wrapping her PC in Aluminum foil, wonders why she still 'reacts' to it
>I ask if she's been to a doctor, "Doctor's dont know whats wrong with me"
>Doesn't leave house or use cell phones so she hasn't talked to her family in years
>Needs New PC for webcam so can talk to Family about new Baby
>Either way she asks for a Computer, comparable to a Powerbook G4, but can run skype and has a screen that doesn't effect her
>Literally go through 4-5 Computers until she grabs a Intel NUC
>She ends up with the PC and she likes it, but the power LED affects her so asks if I can remove it
>"Don't just cover it up, because ill know, I can feel it"
>Immediately cover LED with Vinyl Tape and claim I removed it
>She's been happy ever since

what the fuck

Same basic deal as people with wifi sensitivity.

There are entire towns where these people congregate and ban all sorts of electronics from being used within city limits. It's some bizzaro land mental illness.

I uhh... hmm

You're not wrong. In my precinct we all have self depreciation.

These people legitimately think electricity is killing them.

>tfw I still use a Powerbook G4

I've been on the job for one day and you guys are making me hate myself already lmao.

I love it

Shits fucked, so fucked that when you unfuck it they're gonna lie and say it's SO MUCH SLOWER THAN BEFORE. so you'll say some shit like "then let's wipe it" BUT I LOST ALL OF MY OS INFO AND I DONT WANT TO LOSE MY FILES AND PICTURES "then let's back it up" I CAN JUST DO THAT MYSELF CANT YOU JUST SPEED UP MY SUPER FUCKED SYSTEM THAT IVE NEGLECTED FOR LITERALLY 10 YEARS

Ive got quite a few stories,
Another of my Favorites is an Asian dude called and his company gave him a new laptop, but he couldn't open it because there were 'metal clips' holding it closed. He explained that he managed to remove one, but couldn't get the other. I told him that before he did anything else just to bring it in so I could take a look. Turned out to be a W series Thinkpad, and the 'clips' he was trying to remove with a butter knife were the hinges. It was scratched to hell and back, but I simply turned it around and opened it from the other side. Without saying a thing, he just picked it up and walked out.

My friend worked at the Staples geek squad, did an on-site for a guy and during the on site the guy literally had a seizure but his tongue off and died

Point is you gotta learn to cope with all these unpleasing circumstances and customers if you want to make it long enough to climb the ladder. Don't worry, it gets better if you keep furthering your education.

What a lucky guy.

>Lady claims the radiation her PC gives off make her hands numb and she gets cramps
user there is so many stupid people I know like this. They believe in fucking chemtrails and radiation from there computer. For the love of fuck they like this David Icke guy that confirms their delusions. I think these people are schizophrenic or really fucked up due to the cocaine they had in the 80's rotting their brain today.

Lack of intelligence, tech know-how and ethical standards.

Whats your official position name? I always wanted to apply but they usually only hire full time
