well armed with all the info i got on this board and another board i post on, plus all the stuff i read on www.dpreview.com (which someone posted on the other board as well) i headed down to best buy tonight.

found out that the two gift certificates i had left over from last xmas are around $50 and i went to the camera dept.

i spent roughly an hour playing with all the cameras... seeing which ones felt comfortable, ease of use, etc. finally i decided on the canon A80.... i walked over to the counter (cuz no one came and asked me if i needed help the whole time i was there...maybe the large pentegram on the back of my shirt?) and asked to see the box... apparently it was the guys first day so he went over and said something to the chick workin the dept... she comes to me and says "what do u mean you want to see the box?"

apparently it was an odd question i asked?!?! so i replied "i would just like to read the box before i decide whether to purchase said camera"

so she tells the new guy to get it for me... after looking in ever cabinet in the dept (behind the counter and under the displays) he goes and gets the girl who says "guess we are out"

i ask him if/when they will be getting more in... poor guy apologizes and says if i want to wait a min the girl could answer... so i wait.... SHE AVOIDED ME... walked away as quickly as possible... im now getting slightly annoyed... i mean i get its the dudes first day...and he was nice about it...so that didnt bother me... but this chick was doing everything she could to not wait on me.

while contuing to wait for the broad two guys with heavy french accents asks the new guy a question... he cant understand them... man i felt bad for him... so some other dude who works there comes in the dept answers their questions and as they are lookin at the canon rebel ( ) immediately asks if he can help me.

so this guy, who looks like hes 15 (man im feeling old ) tells me that its their most popular camera...that the only place around that might have one in stock is in VERMONT....fucking vermont!, and there is no chance they will get anymore in before the 5th or so.

so best buy had it listed for $300... im thinking ill look elsewhere because i can cover that without the gift cards (and then ill have $50 bucks to blow at best buy)

so frustrating tho... i feel like i wasted most of my night
