Hey, Circuit City, would you just go bankrupt already?!
You SUCK! I go to this store for new music (and I mean THE DAY AN ALBUM COMES OUT) sometimes because it's relatively local...and has that fantastic $9.99 CD price for new music. Yet EVERY time, it's the same insanity. I walk in, go to the music area, look...and look...and look. And NOTHING. I painstakingly search through every endcap, along with the regular aisle section. NOTHING. What. The. Fuck?! Shouldn't the new music arrivals be heavily promoted somewhere?! So roughly 15 minutes goes by...as I'm LOATHE to ask salespeople for help anywhere, me being of the mind that i'm smart and have vision, thus i'll fucking find what I want by myself. And ESPECIALLY when it comes to music, salespeople are bloody clueless. You need to hit upon a savvy one...which I did today once I caved in. I'm pacing the store, cursing out loud, about to scream when I finally asked some dude if they had the new Coldplay album. He started stammering...uh...uh...ummmm....ummmm. My eyes started to roll, my mouth started to foam. Luckily, full seizure was averted when his mercifully attentive co-worker chimed in..."IT'S BEHIND CUSTOMER SERVICE."
The sad thing is...i've been through this bullshit with them before, so should've gone RIGHT there. In fact, I kinda did a scan of behind the counter, but I tell you, there was NOTHING advertising Hidden Products. WHAT THE FUCK?!?! WHY IS IT BEHIND THE FUCKING COUNTER?!? AND NOT EVEN DISPLAYED?!! You would NEVER find that album in that store unless you asked. WHY? Why, dammit, why?! Doesn't the store want sales? And non-agitated customers? It is INEXPLICABLE. You go to ANY other music store on Day One of an album release and there's big ass promotional posters and displays and tons of copies of the album easily within reach. Not at Circuit Fucking City. They are the WORST. Awful. Best Buy is SO far superior in every way. Circuit City is a junky, cluttered, poorly displayed store...that I predict is ever closer to the end of its road. Gary endorses Best Buy!!
**OH, and Coldplay's VIVA LA VIDA is another instant favorite. Melodic as ever, but with a bit more ambition laid upon the basic Coldplay blueprint, a bit more spring in its step. Less funeral procession, more post-burial "carry on" toast.
