nickp10281 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I picked up a Best Buy blue shirt from my local thrift store and was wondering how easy or hard it would be to pose as a bb empoyee to get in the store early and when doors open take the shirt off and get all the good deals. Any thoughts on if this would work or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 LOL...I'd have to believe that it's NOT going to work. The store manager, who is going to have to let you in the door, would hopefully recognize if you work there or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestbuy7 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I dont think you should try that. Trust me, I'm a bb employee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickp10281 Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 if you work there what would be the worst thing that could happen? Would I get arrested or just escorted out. I was thinking about saying i was a new employee just hired for the holiday rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturnboy01 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I hope if you do that you get caught and arrested for impersonating an Employee of a Company. That would be funny stuff on the news and once you get out of jail you cold post your horror story of being in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnboy01 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 That would make a good read next week when most of us are back at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_John_Lennon_ Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I know I know!!! tell them you were hired to hand out the tickets ! They would have set up who would be handing out the tickets ahead of time, at the BF training sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to get a Wal-Mart vest, walk in to Wal-Mart and start helping people/telling actual employees what to do, is that actually against the law? I've always thought that would be hilarious and with stores like Super Wal-Mart...there's no way that regular employees would catch on at first.

VaderGCP Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 That reminds me, i still HAVE my Best Buy shirt from when I worked last years Black Friday. Believe me when I say that lots of employees at BB dont know each other. Usually departments stick together so lots of people, especially seasonal temps, dont get to know each other well. Im sure you'd be let in but then theyd ask 'who's that guy?' and then youd get discovered. Damn.....now I cant stop staring at my shirt and name tag.

KhakiBoy Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 ROFL! I was thinking the same thing. I still have several BB shirts from when I worked there. Of course, I couldn't do that at the store where I worked as all the managers there know me. Sadly, not too many employees are still there that were there when I worked there.

daz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Felony trespassing here we come.LOL not. What are they going to do, take away your birthday? Posing as a best buy employee is NOT a crime in any way shape or form in any state in the land. Posing as a police officer, a military officer, federal employee....yes Best buy employee....No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
