I have more common knowledge than most of the people there I talk to. They try to sound intelligent, and maybe are, but seem really lacking in the basic computer and product knowledge areas. Don't they train them on anything but the registers?
Not sure about any training. Last year, checking on the PW2, the salesclerk told me he was just transferred from the TV dept. and knew nothing, a really sweet kid.

Maybe you could sell BB a corporate level training program

I vaguely remember an old techie thread here, but I read forum late evening on tablet, rarely participate because typing on virtual keyboards is a pain.
