Fsck you BestBuy

I have a TracPhone cell phone and love it. There is no real cell service out here in our rural neck of the woods so I only use my phone for when I am in town. Makes sense to have just the cheapest burner phone I can find. Thank you Carlos Slim - your product works for me.

I needed to buy some more days and was at the local Costco so went to the BestBuy in the same mall. I usually get my phone renewed at Walmart but didn't feel like dealing with the crowds. I take my 90-day card to the cashier and the cashier asks me for my cell number. I give it to them and it comes up blank. They proceed to ask for my name - I give it to them. I then ask if this is required for TracPhone. They say yes. I then say that I already have a TracPhone account and did not want to create a new parallel one. The cashier says, Oh no Sir - this is for our use.

I ask them again if this is for TracPhone and they fessed up and said that this was for BestBuy. I left the card at the cashiers station and walked out.

If BestBuy wants my demographics, they will have to pay me a lot more for them.
