this is just internet controversy stirred up by a best buy employee over a policy he/she didnt understand. Best Buy is going to be running an Ad with the iPad 2 in it and want the stores to have stock on hand over the weekend for when the Ad hits.

They aren't always doing this every day. As pointed out they were holding all sales after a certain Thursday. The quota isnt " you can only sell this many a day" its " you have to sell this many a day" The memo is just telling them not sell any above their quota on that Thursday to preserve some for the AD.

This is not an unusual practice for any business when they are preparing for an ad and have tight inventory.

move along . nothing to see here.
