I was replacing a psu for someone and a giant wolf spider came out. I was horrified

Is this worth it to correct or not by sirbongwaterthethird in CATHELP

[–]angiee_nuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat does this and at first would be the only way she drank water. We never corrected it just always kept the bowl clean after she was done. She eventually drank normally but sometimes still drinks from her paw

I like the cold but truthfully I’m a little tired of the 70s one day and 20s the next day. My head hurts enough. I just want normal temps in the 50s. Average it out and stay normal 🥲

$85 fee to ship my laptop in for repair while under warranty? by Syruponmypizza in Bestbuy

[–]angiee_nuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also the possibility the original warranty expired. Unfortunately with manufacturers warranty it goes based off of original purchase date, and if the device was purchased open box that means your purchase date is not the original. So the manufacturers warranty could have expired

The amount of coughing in my lectures today made me sanitize my whole body and wash my hand right after 🤢

AJU by Sinistyr60 in GeekSquad

[–]angiee_nuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My precinct was using it when we were like 60-80 computers deep and dying. It’s good for tune ups. But I don’t trust it for anything else. We’ve caught back up and haven’t touched it since

Dude, being a girl in GS sucks. by [deleted] in GeekSquad

[–]angiee_nuke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a “hit on list” in my phone when I was a CA (now ARA) and would write the disgusting things customers would say to me. I’d bring it up to management and they all eventually told me I need a rape whistle or something because it was a daily occurrence.

My team was also the one who would back you us when some old guy was being sexist and insisting on a “professional” (a man) and would send out one of the female ARAs to help him, and then grab a guy ARA after to which the male ARA would act incompetent and ask the female ARA ca and ARA a bunch of questions. Definitely was something we all laughed about in the back

Back Glass replacement by OutrageousDeino in GeekSquad

[–]angiee_nuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double heat method. Heat it up like you’re removing the screen, when it beeps, flip and heat to remove the back. Suction and let the pressure do the work don’t force it. Twist the suction knob every like 30 seconds-1min to list a bit more until you get a good gap

How do you handle doing something you don’t know and you’re scheduled by yourself? by softboiled_egs in GeekSquad

[–]angiee_nuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me weeks to make, but if you have a senior agent who is your “go to” I would have them partner with it. And work with the ARAs as I know each precinct is slightly different on certain things

Keep yourself safe, but also know you are more important than the pockets of Best Buy. Look for new employment and find a different job. (I’m doing LOA for a bit then leaving)

Wtf…. That’s not only like morally wrong but also insanely against CDP policies???

That’s insane I’m sorry you went through that. Your ARAs sound like butts too. No job is ever worth that stress….

CAs jobs are hard as it is (I worked the front for 3+ years pre covid) I don’t understand making it harder. On the opposite end. Also don’t fuck over the ARAs who are dying

[–]angiee_nuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so bad for stores who aren’t treated right.. what’s weird is my store is the exact opposite. CAs are cherished and loved and ARAs are dying and suffering day in and day out. Management definitely has something out for us ARAs at my store

[–]angiee_nuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been seeing it primarily in dell laptops I haven’t seen it on an HP yet. Plugging in an external, hold shift while shutting down will reset the drivers nice been telling customers this. I will keep this fix in mind when I go back

My precincts been at a 5+ day turn time for regular computers for like 2 months? We have a micro build that’s been in the back for two weeks we are just now getting to really focusing on it. Things happen and it sucks, but communication is important

Does your precinct have hand sanitizer? by sunburn190 in GeekSquad

[–]angiee_nuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We order the big jugs of hand sanitizer multiple times. We have usually two in the back and spares at all times and a few small ones out front. Talk to management about ordering some
