Dec 8th 2007 9:01PM (Engadget)Rock Band impressions ... from a Best Buy kiosk
Nov 5th 2007 11:04PM (Joystiq)Thats because in-store employees don't really have access to that demo, nor did they set it up. Theres a group of employees that travel from store to store in a specified area designated to set displays like these up. And trust me, we're well aware of the mic "problem", its right on the main page of employee toolkit. (the bigger problem would be having to listen to people singing all day long...)
So I'll try and give you more of an apathetic response like you expected and deserved... i have more important things to do other than set up a microphone that no one will use for a game that comes out in less than 2 weeks and we're going to sell through anyways. but thanks for the input.

Best Buy customer sues after being clobbered by falling TV
Oct 2nd 2007 4:57PM (Engadget)Well it is common sense to not stand under a giant hydraulic lift, but you're right it isn't his obligation. BUT, Best Buy SOP states that if the employee is operating "Big Joe", then there should be an accompanying employee with him telling him that it's "All Clear" when he is coming back down in case om employees on the ground. So there are procedures set in place to protect the customer, but if a TV falls off of a shelf and the employee was following all of the safety guidelines (accompanying employee, harnessed in, was properly certified to use the device, etc) then the company isn't at fault. That isn't saying it's the customers fault, it's just saying that it's an ACCIDENT.
