the cashiers are pushed very hard to sell PRPs to get that extra few bucks tacked onto the sale at the end.

their PRP sales actually effect their rank among the other cashiers.

if you ever see balloons being tied to a certain person's register, that is more than likely the number of PRPs they've sold that day.

basically, it sucks ass being a cashier at best buy because you are literally at the bottom of the totem (sp?) pole and if you dont sell PRPs they assume you can't sell product, and you'll never get promoted to a 'real' department.

most employees with no experience in retail start in the operations (cashier/customer service) dept and have to prove themselves there in order to get into a sales spot.

luckily the girl that interviewed me happened to be the wireless supervisor and wanted me for her dept even though i was 16 and had no experience.

basically, if you wanna yell at someone, ask for the operations senior or supervisor. they are the ones that push the cashiers to sell PRPs. if you wanna go a level up, go to the operations manager because they are the ones pushing the senior/supervisor to push the cashiers.

just go easy on the lil cashiers.. they are just trying to better their lives at best buy smurfs h:
