I was in my local Best Buy last night doing a bit of shopping because I was considering a new cell phone for a certain maternal relative of mine who has a holiday being celebrated this weekend. My eyes fell upon a certain display phone that had no price tag associated with it. I asked a young blue-shirted associate about this and he checked behind the counter. His reply: "we actually don't any in stock and we don't even sell that phone anymore."
Stupidly, I continued on in this conversation. "So if this phone isn't being sold and no one has any hope of getting one from this store, why is it still on display?" "Because we haven't had time to take it off display," he replied. This was about 15 minutes before closing time. There was not much traffic in the store and there were at least 5 other associates milling around not doing much of anything.
I went and looked at LCD flat-panel TVs until about 5 minutes before closing time. The phone was still on display when I passed by.
sigh...
