Dear ex-CC employees complaining about rude customers:
The first thing anyone in a service industry needs to qualify, or even last in the job needs is a thick skin, and the ability to see the big picture.

These customers don’t have any idea about what the machinations of a company in liquidation is, they are responding to an advertised claim the store is closing down. Common logic suggests that a store closing down has a lot more to lose by staying open, and not selling anything than if they sell at say, cost plus 10%. Basic economics & logic. If the prices in the store are higher than competitors, then the customer has a right to feel like he has been deceived. Most people when they are deceived, are angry. Put yourself in their shoes, and maybe you’ll have the qualifications for another job in retail. If not, find another field.

Don’t get me wrong, noone is happy about anyone losing their job, but if you can cope with it with grace, and get over yourself, you’ll make life a lot easier for yourself and everyone else…

Is that simple enough, CC employees?

I went today and tried to use my gift certificate and they wouldn’t accept it because they say they aren’t Circuit City anymore even though the signs say Circuit City and all the employees are wearing Circuit City uniforms.

According to Circuit City’s bankruptcy FAQ’s website at http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/CC/568012013x0x272351/C0100213-25E0-4BDB-9558-F5807A7EACED/CC_FAQ_Part_5-Liquidation_Sales_updated_2.12.09.pdf

they will honor Gift Cards as long as the store you visited is still open (obviously it is). I suggest you callÃ‚Â you state’s Attorney General office immediately for guidance and perhaps your local newspaper’s consumer reporter.

Pending rebates through circuit city itself you can kiss it goodbye. If it’s through the item’s manufacturer then it’s still good.

This article is most certainly accurate. I bought an HDTV at Circuit City almost 1.5 yrs ago, and when I went to the liquidation sale last week I found that the exact same model of TV is being “liquidated” at $200 MORE than I paid for it.

I went to the one here in Huntington Beach, CA which left me with one persistent thought . . . WTF?????

Almost every “sale” item was 10-20% MORE than I could buy it almost anywhere else. But what should I have expected from a company which things it’s ethical to fire all its employees and replace them with workers who are willing to take half as much.

Good riddance to a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad institution. It’s not a “sale” – it’s charity for rich, incompetent owners.
