Tell your son , thanks

My son says you are welcome and that he wishes there were more appreciative customers like you. He works in an area where the majority of customers are financially well-off and assume its okay to be rude to others.

Unfortunately it is not just Walmart. Most of the major chain retailers that carry eReaders hire mostly intellectually challenged sales staff. Some of the sales staff comments I've heard at Best Buy would make your skin crawl!

Then again, if the sales staff were bright, college graduates they probably wouldn't be working as sales staff for a cheap retailer.

Now, now...some could be degreed with employment challenges in the present economy.

the Best Buy near me has the worst employees as well, they are clueless on many home theater issues, let alone ebook readers.
