Best Buy Sells Zune Early
<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.flx-tech.net/2006/11/zune_on_early_sale_at_bestbuy_1.html' target='_blank'>http://www.flx-tech.net/2006/11/zune_on_early_sale_at_bestbuy_1.html</a><br /><br /></div><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/zt/2006/wey-20061112-earlyzune1.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Oops, looks like a Best Buy salesman in Union City, CA <a href="http://www.flx-tech.net/2006/11/zune_on_early_sale_at_bestbuy_1.html" target="_blank">screwed up today</a> by letting a Zune out of the bag a little too early. The only problem is, the customer can't install the software. That's karma for you.<br /><div style="page-break-after: always;"><span style="display: none;"> </span></div><br /><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/zt/2006/wey-20061112-earlyzune2.jpg" alt="" />

not only the employee screw up, but also Best Buy, I work once a week at Circuit City and the system won't let you sell something that has not been release even if we have it in stock.

I would have expected something like this from Walmart, but not Best Buy. I have this strong urge now to go store to store seeking out a helpful clueless employee  |

Ooopss, I'm at Circuit City right now and I was able to ring a black Zune, I didn't finish the sale because I need to get someone else to sell it to me. If you come here I will act as a clueless salesperson

the funny thing about that engadget story was the picture in the background when they could not load the software.
