Fuck best buy

So I have a 85 mustang gt convertible.
I went to best buy to get a car stereo system. I have stock everything. And it is all broken. So I pic out a cheap CD player and some cheap speakers and totaled to 222 or something dollars not to bad. I pay and then drive around to the installation area. The guy there doesn't greet me when I walked in and I wasn't even sure if I was in the rite place.
I then go hey I am the guy with the 85 mustang. And he hands me some paper work and I start filling it out. Then he goes and gets my car and drives it in, like crap he was making my car make noises that are not good. Then he opens my glove box? why I do not know. He also opened the trunk. His rite ear was pierced BTW. Then he looks at everything and then writes stuff down and fiddles with a calculator. Then he goes OK blaw blaw blaw blaw 425 dollars. And I was like oh but I already bought the parts inside. And he says yea I know the install is 425 dollars. I about shit my pants the install is 2x as much as the parts.
Apparently I got an amp in my car that needs some rewiring. So tahts 150. Then to cut a hole in my door panel for the side speakers costs 25 each and also basic install is 35 for each pair of speakers. So that is why it cost so much. and something about parts. Is that not total bull shit or what.
Then I go inside to return it and i get a little hassled. They are like why are you returning it and I am like I just bought it 5 minutes ago Can I get my money. Then they had me explain in more detail than necessary of why I needed to return it. Then one of the guys who was like a hire rank said come back sometime and I can help you out.
Then they tell me to get the money back in my account its gonna take 2 days. I am worried that I wont get my money back. I am also 200 degrees cause I am so mad. I get into my car and try to hold in my rage but take a nice slug on my dash and crack it and then wile shifting I riped my shift knob off.
Fuck best buy and fuck there prices. A long time ago I almost bought a system and got 7 car speakers all Sony and a Sony CD player and the total was 333 dollars with 100% free installation. And they looked the car up and down they said we will need to rewire it but you will need to remove the current stock radio or we charge 40 dollars to do it cause we can get sued if we break it. If I could remember the location of this place I would go there rite now.
Best buy is a bunch of cons.

Why don't they stop donating and lower their prices like they are suppose to. I don't buy a video game or something from them to have them give the money away to a stadium. I buy it for the value of the item.

That does sound like a rip off, but you should have asked how much it would have been before you went and bought the parts. Of course they probably wouldnt tell you that for free... if not fuck them, take your business elsewhere.
Might be better off trying to install the thing yourself or taking it elsewhere.
As far as the money in your account goes, it does take time to put things back onto your card or account or whatever. I doubt they are going to just keep your money. If so, sue the bitches.

I like it
I do all my own too, when there's static, I pound on it, or turn it off and back on to see if that helps.

I install stuff myself as well. However, if you don't know how to do it...take it up to Circuit City. They do free installation if you buy from there.

my friend works at best buy, get's most common stuff at about half price (the employee discount is at "cost") wires and such, pretty much ANY wire you need, the one's that normaly cost like $15-30, she gets them for like 1.29. it's pretty sick. not really a discount on cd's, or things like ipods and such.. i dont know about expensive electronics either, i picked up 2 pairs of $25 headphones, and like 3 usb extension cables, the normal total was like 140, but i got it for like, $25.
