Lileks Likes Enterprise

James Lileks likes Enterprise, as you'll see if you scroll down to the bottom of this entry. As it happens, so do I.

He doesn't much like Best Buy, as you'll see on your way to the bottom. Neither do I.

Every time I feel annoyed with Best Buy, or CompUsa, or whatever, I try to remind myself of what it was like to buy electronics before Best Buy came on the scene.

Maybe its time to outlaw sales commissions completely.

James Lileks is just too much fun to read :-)

FWIW, if you say "no" enough, they will sell you stuff without that info. If not, I usually say "734-111-1111". "734-555-1212" is probably good too, since these new kids probably don't even realize that's what they used to call "411"
