I stopped shopping at Circuit City in the fall of 2004. Their customer service sucks ass, their selection and price likewise.
This guy was a maroon to shop at Circuit City in the first place, and Doc, you need to check yer meds. Octaroon was a racial classification in old South Africe based on blood mixture. Maroon as noted is a now common slang, thanks to Bugs Bunny adding it to the lexicon by deliberately screwing up moron. It also refers to some poor sumbitch left on an island by pirates.
As to putting up with substandard service, if I don't like what I get out of a clerk, I say no, or I immediately call for the namanger, NOW. I have had any number of interesting conversations on how badly his people are trained, and how well I can elucidate his shortcomings to corporate if he doesn't unscrew his people and his ass.
One such conversation is why I no longer spend any of my money, ever, at Circuit City. Likewise, Taco Bell, anywhere in the country.
There is always someone decent enough at customer service to bring my custom to. Fail to teach your people the basics, and my dollars go elsewhere, and along the way I might ruin your, and your precious little slacker scumbag employee's day if I have a case of the ass on.
As the warden in Cool Hand Luke used to say:
I can be a real nice guy, or a real sumbitch.
Funny thing is, I am a big tipper if you get it right.
