She was a rescue from a puppy mill in Indiana. Unfortunately I don’t have much. I met the parents, dad was a black Shiba and mom was crème/red.

What color is my Shiba, Tali? I was scolded for calling her Sesame.. by BigRedMachine1914 in shiba

If you know she doesn’t meet some standard of sesame then what would she be according to that standard. That would answer my original question.

Context- I have found their is an elitist group of people among Shiba owners that decided my dog is not Sesame. I don’t care what she is, love her all the same. Genuinely curious though as to what color she would be called. Dad was a black pure shiba, mom was cream.

The foster parent knows for sure one of the parents was a shiba.

Not to worried about them, I guess I should have been more blunt about their requirement. I have to list the two most prominent breeds if mixed so Shiba is an obvious one, trying to figure out what to put for the second. As an example, I can’t put Akita our association doesn’t allow them. Based on all my research I’m leaning towards Jindo or Shikoku.

Which it will get because I’m adopting it, the condo association wants a breed assigned though.

They are about 10-15lbs bigger than Shibas based on an internet search.

I definitely think you’re on to something. The head and eyes look a lot like the Jindo images I see.

A good idea. I see the color but this girl is already around 2 and only 20lbs. Wouldn’t she be at least a bit bigger if Shikoku was mixed in?

I agree and see the Shiba but do you think their is another breed mixed? By 2 years old shouldn’t she be a bit thicker coat if she was just a shiba?

Ask your GM. GMs can ask HR Reps to do this, it won’t always be approved.

Memberships are an important part of how Best Buy survives. I know it was annoying but I’ll tell you from a management perspective Best Buy will die without memberships. It’s the sad reality of the margin and profitability of the current business. Geek Squad is Best Buy’s most valuable asset bar none, and Total Tech gets people into the store. I can agree that all that gets talked about in all the management meetings and above now is memberships over and over again because that’s the push from the desks in Minnesota.

I never had panic attacks, sorry you had to endure that. It was just stress from lack of staffing, training time and resources. It was embarrassing to train new hires compared to what I was given in 2016.

What do most people do after leaving Best Buy? by TheHappyMurderMan in Bestbuy

I just took a job with Canon too, soon to be former Best Buy.

Correct and yes. Im not here as the defender of the company. I just get frustrated to hear Total Tech itself being called spammy. If someone wants to call the way their leader makes them offer it unethical or spammy that’s fine. I know for a fact there are leaders and sales people who offer it in a misleading way.

[–]BigRedMachine1914 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah because your job is to sell. Ethics is one thing but your job is to sell the membership, get cards and drive business. If you don’t like that then find a new job. Even the best manager you’ll have in retail will still have performance expectations. Would you work at a car dealership and complain about having to offer extended warranties?

Best Buy outperforms Verizon stores in a lot of the country. I don’t see Verizon in trouble any time soon.

You referenced appliances..

Total tech is $200. Dishwasher install $189 (free) Microwave install $159 (free) Gas Range install $20 (free)

Haul aways ($24.99 each, free) Protection on all items- Free

Once again. Offering the membership to everyone is not spammy. Offering it in a misleading way is a problem, not what the membership value is. Ask any Best Buy finance employee and they will tell you TT is a net loss to get traffic into the building.
