That includes both their service and their wardrobe. The guys I've seen behind the counter at Best Buy had ill-fitting shirts and pants that made it look like they were really off the rack, as in not even checking for size before grabbing them.

LOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! any idiot can work for that circus act.

uh, are these people students? How do you pay the bills otherwise if you only work 30 hrs a week?

I wouldn't let Geek Squad anywhere near my PC. Google the horror stories about Geek Squad. It's a complete and total ripoff.

Isn't it obvious that troubleshooting Mac systems will undoubtedly leave you more satisfied than troubleshooting PC systems? Hence the job satisfaction.

Having previously worked for the evil empire otherwise known as Best Buy I can tell you that the 30 Hours is no accident. When I was there management would not allow you to get enough hours to qualify as full-time. This way they avoided having to give you benefits. Common practice in retail - but good for Apple for not following the crowd.

Apple Genius Bar workers are also 1x10^6 more likely to get laid than Geek Squad workers.

Of course they're more satisfied. They're called 'geniuses' by Apple. Wouldn't you rather be called a 'genius' than a 'geek'?

Man, the geniuses only get paid an average of $36K annually? These people MUST be working second jobs somewhere or consulting on the side, or how else do you survive on that kind of pay? That would only be enough to pay the rent and bills, with not much left over to buy food and other essentials.
Though I imagine the Geniuses in the NYC stores get paid a bit higher. at least I hope so for their sake.
