There's no compelling reason to go into Circuit City. The last few times I went--over a year ago--I walked around a bit and couldn't find a single thing that interested me. It used to be I could at least find something on sale that I might be half interested in, but not any more. Overpriced, limited-selection, boring merchandise sold by ignorant, unprofessional salespeople is not attractive to me. Plus, I got really tired of the three or four person knots of unkempt employees too busy talking about "OH MY GAWD...!! pointless juvenile experiences to bother to help me when I actually wanted help.

While I'm no more in love with Best Buy than CC, usually I can actually kill some time there looking at some CDs or DVDs, or maybe checking out a refrigerator or something. I have a Best Buy gift card that an employee gave me two Xmases ago that I still haven't used, so it's not like Best Buy is filling me with desire, but at least I don't get the feeling that I HAVE TO GET OUT, which is how I feel after five or six minutes in Circuit City.
