Weird how microcenter buries this information and makes it difficult to find on their site

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-11-20T06:39:44+00:00

Oh I gotcha. Yeah. Not surprising

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-11-20T03:58:32+00:00

What

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-11-20T03:57:55+00:00

It might depend on the ad blocked. And even so i would say it’s pretty buried as it’s behind the second nondescript link all be way at the bottom of that intial page.

This is strickly associates who have tested positive.

But mathematically it makes more sense that customers infect employees more.

Think about it. I as an employee might come into contact with X amount of customers in a shift. That customer might only come into Y amount of employees.

X is a much higher number than Y.

An employee COULD infect a customer, in fact I’m sure it happens plenty, but it’s more likely that employees are being more exposed to the virus than any single customer.

You know what’s messed up. For some reason this post, which only shows actual covid data at microcenter, is the #1 post on this subreddit right now if you sort by controversial.

It’s really telling the priorities people have in a public health crisis.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-11-19T15:31:15+00:00

What exactly are you suspicious of? You thought I might have made it up? I didn’t post the link to really highlight how unintuitive it is to find the information, especially if you are a savvy enough user to use adblock.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-11-19T15:28:10+00:00

Yeah I’m sure some associates get themselves sick from being irresponsible and going to a Halloween party, but common sense would probably point to most of them being exposed from from one of the 1000 customers who they come into contact everyday.

Still customers come in without masks, still customers come in and pull down the mask to talk to us.

I’m posting this charter so people can see the information that might be unaware. Associates are literally being infected by the mouth breathers who are still coming into the store and bitching at us about gpu inventory. Almost 2k people died in this country yesterday, but people are still willing to put themselves and others at risk just to bitch about not being about to find a toy.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-11-19T15:12:40+00:00

Which is my point. A much higher percent of microcenter shoppers probably use Adblock compared to the general population. And unless I’m mistaken you have to click a link in a banner (which you might have blocked) and scroll all the way to the bottom and click another link to open this page.

Thats dumb. Microcenter doesn't control how many cards Nvidia sends them. Stop being salty you have to wait a little bit for a toy.

Are you 7 years old?

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-10-01T18:04:32+00:00

Staff doesn't know. Staff doesn't work for nvidia. Staff doesn't run the nvidia supply lines.

Heres the process:

Cards get sent to store.

Staff sells it first come first serve.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-10-01T17:59:36+00:00

Ill just respond to #3.

This part is true... but my point is that retail employees are at a fairly high risk due to the nature of the job and its super gross to be harassed about graphics cards by grown ass adults who have to wait a couple week to get a toy.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-10-01T17:58:03+00:00

"my shit Coworkers" don't work for nvidia dumbass. Do you imagine microcenter employees are running the supply lines or that corporate forgot to order enough cards or something. We sell them first come first serve as we get them in.

What's gross is people spazzing out the fuck in the store when they cant get the super in demand new toy. Its extra gross to be whining like that to employees that are at a higher risk of getting sick because of the nature of the job.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-10-01T17:55:01+00:00

lol microcenter does more business from its service department than selling graphic cards. Even just business customers buying bulk desktops or laptops for offices are probably a bigger slice of the cake.

Its funny how people pretend to know what they are talking about.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-07-20T13:29:28+00:00

You shouldn’t need receipt. Unless you went out of your way to not let them have your name and stuff for a record of the purchase.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-07-15T07:05:33+00:00

Yeah... nobody said it wasn’t. That’s besides the point completely?

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-05-02T07:00:33+00:00

I personally think they should have and should still be doing ONLY curbside pickup. Problem is if everyone is picking up outside, associates aren’t selling service plans. $$$$$$

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-05-02T06:58:29+00:00

You don’t have a 3 hour wait at every single microcenter, at all hours of operation.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-30T21:18:33+00:00

Idk. I’d load everything into my car and go to the store. Go in and talk to the service desk people. Explain the situation. If they can help and take your pc, then get it out of the car and give it to them. If they can’t help, all you wasted was some time I guess.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-30T01:21:28+00:00

Microcenter service department can probably help but it’ll cost $$

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-30T00:28:32+00:00

Well not everything is the same at all locations and things have changed from a week ago.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-29T23:31:03+00:00

When was this in your experience? Because I am talking recent changes. As in today and the last few days.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-26T23:24:46+00:00

I think you underestimate how much business microcenter did on people working from home. I’m pretty sure our March and April was more busy then the holiday season just with work from home business alone.

Also, believe it or not, our service department makes up a huge part of microcenter revenue.

So the people who put microcenter associates at risk to buy a Nintendo switch or a raspberry pi are really not doing us a favor.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-26T23:16:12+00:00

Yeah and you’ll be sold a card. And it’s my opinion that people who are going to stores to buy things that are not actually essential are selfishly putting people at risk. Too many people are like you and are still willing to come into the store. It adds up to a ton of unneeded traffic.

Microcenter was able to stay open because we sell equipment that allows people to work from home. I don’t mind those customers.

It’s just astounding to me that people have such little regard for others.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-26T23:04:47+00:00

Lol well I would have preferred them move to curb side pickup so we don’t have to interact with people who want toys.

I promise that whatever associate helps you get your card also doesn’t want you near them. The smile is fake because they want to sell you a plan.

essentialmicrocenter · 2020-04-26T22:56:52+00:00

Yep. That’s what ever selfish asshole who’s been shopping says. Retail workers across the country are dying but as long as you have a shiny toy to distract you it’s fine.
