Best Buy Encounter

The only problem with roommates moving out is the stuff they bring with them. This weekend I found myself in need of a television after my roommate unfortunately brought his 42" Sony flat screen along with him to his new apartment. Best Buy was the most conveniently located store which was the main reason we decided to shop there. We waited in the t.v. area for approximately 5 minutes until we found an employee to help us. Once we described what t.v. we were looking for, she escorted us to the proper section and then informed us of the current t.v.s on sale, but only mentioned t.v.s larger than what we planned on buying (trading up). After we had decided which t.v. we wanted to purchase, she attempted the suggestion selling technique; asking if we wanted the HDMI cables or a surround sound system. Although I had no intention of buying the surround sound system, I figured I could pretend to be interested so that I would have more material for my blog post. I noticed that she brought us to the most expensive surround sound system priced at 2000$! Considering the t.v. we decided to buy was around 500$, it seemed a little ridiculous to lead us to a music system worth four times the price of the actual t.v.
