I miss Circuit City! I can't believe it's almost 3 years since it went out of business! It's already December 30, 2011! Almost 3 years already! It seems like it went out of business not that long ago!
Gosh dang is't like the place got "violated!" I don't mean to sound crude, but it's like unbearable to watch, things were just stripped and torn and people just walkin by not really caring (of what was left)... : (
I love how in the beginning one customer and the dude shooting the video went in through the EXIT! When I worked at Circuit the same thing happened...and the doors were marked "entrance" and "exit". Goes to show how stupid the customers could be.
@postal80 I remember on the first day of the liquidation sale in Wheaton, Maryland, the person watching the doors actually yelled at someone for going in the exit. I saw that and realized it was things like that that contributed to the store's downfall. If I were working in a store that was closing, I'd be like, *whatever* because no matter what happens, at the end of the day, you're going to be unemployed.
FUCK best buy. i never had so much fun in my working for c-city. all you people saying you got shitty service...thats cuz ur a shitty customer!! FUCK BLUE...RED ALL THE WAY
I didn't like Circuit City at all. I went there a few times just to get a few cheap cds. When they were closing down, I decided to go in there to see if I could catch a few deals. They still had cds selling for over $10! What kind of sale is that?! Best Buy is better, and now a tool store is in it's place.
I just read an article that these fuckers might come back as a store in some areas that were closed. Circut City had nice prices BUT their customer services were just plain horrible. I waited 10 mins. in line at checkout to buy a portable harddrive. What can of BS is that.
Even a blind man could of seen their flaws. At least where I'm from. The store was very 90' ish. it's 2010 for christsake.
thats how my circut city was completly wiped out but now some are coming back not in my town yet but i just moved back from corpass cristie and they have a circut city open
I fondly recall buying CDs at Circuit City; They even had 'Live on BBC Radio 1' by Hawkwind!! But was always mad at them because I applied for work there multiple times and kept getting those 'Thank you for your interest but we have pursued another candidate' letters in the mail. Bastards. I could have been good in a job like that.
the company I work for brought the selves and table tops and we loaded up in a public storage and refurbished them to use for sprint and t-moble store front lol $50-$75 a pop
YEAH, you know, even me, I felt that its too bad they had to go. Cause I LOVED walking around looking at the electronics. It used to be my favorite place to buy my products at!
i bought my samsung 42 inch lcd half price feom ebay same model number and warranty (1500 dollar ) it was 31 00 dollars in best buy and 2800 dollar in circut city I stopped shopping best buy and circut city 4 years ago i did not know i can buy same thing online half price .
before closing store i went circut city damn it
price still to expensive(even % 50 off ) they do trick
I went to another Circuit City store last Saturday which was its last day and it was pretty empty sort of like the one in this video. All they had left was wristbands for Ipods and cables for printers. My dad bought 4 cables for 50 cents.
To all the people who are trashing Circuit City. Beware your job (or maybe I should say your parents job) could be on the chopping block next. CC's people on the unemployment line leads to other people on the unemployment line. CC will be one of many to fall this year. Nobody is safe in this economy everyone is in danger. Everyone should thank their lucky stars and start saving instead of spending you never know when you will be the next guy walking through the doors of the unemployment office.
This wouldnt happen if....MONEY TO THE PEOPLE... screw giving the bail out money to ANY Wall Street Co - Give the people the money, as they spend it it will fix economy, stop forclosures, get america out of debt, etc.
PLEASE join my protest to the Bail out and answer 1 question on camera: "How would you spend $297,000 dollars?" - That is the amount of BAIL OUT money given to the people....C'MON AMERICA, JOIN US IN TELLING THE GOV HOW WE COULD FIX THIS ECONOMY!....... The Fight Isnt Over YET!!
You would think customer service would be better at a commission based store. However, the customer service at Best Buy is by far superior where there are no commissions. I think any business that treats customers as prey for their sales staff, ends up missing out on one important key to any business, customer service. If you need proof, ask people if they'd prefer going to a car dealership where staff were not paid commission over a dealership that does.
Good Riddence! Thats what they get for throwig lavish parties out in Goochland Virginia, spending all the profits!! While the employees were stealing out the back door selling everything, they called it the HBO!! It does catch up with you in the end. I guess there will be a bunch of those $700,000 Plus homes, going up for sale next! Oh, what about the lavish parties in Vegas for all the employees during CES every year! I guess the money just ran out...................
This reminds me of my hometown supermarket that closed a little over a year ago because a Big Y was moving in >:(. There was actually a full length movie made about its closing directed by my friend's brother. It was pretty touching and funny for an amateur movie. Search for "The Supermarket" on IMDb for a trailer. The old lady in the trailer is my neighbor XD.
Circuit City made the fatal mistake of laying off their most experienced employees. The subsequent poor level of customer service was the stake through their heart.
Ironically, Best Buy hired quite a few of those experienced workers, and increased their service scores, revenue, and profitability.
I'm sure there's a lesson in there for the bean counters somewhere.
Now that they're the only game in town, I promise you that their profitability is going to skyrocket. As for the experienced workers, once they've gotten the $7 an hour peeps trained, they're out the door...except for the fact that no one that makes $7 an hour gives a crap.
All the big names do it...Home Depot's the worst. They'll pay retired peeps 15 bucks an hour while they have them train the young kids, then as soon as they catch on, the retirees get shown the door. It's disgraceful...
Almost exactly 1 year ago, I was in the same boat as these guys...CompUSA (RIP). Say what you will about how much their policies or prices sucked, but know that 90% of the issues stemmed from inept corporate management, and not the poor people that worked in the stores. While all those corporate assholes will be moving on to their next 6 figure paycheck, the people that actually dealt with their pisspoor management skills get to stand in the breadline with the rest of us poor bastards.
That being said, to all the Ex-employees of CC, I hope you can find some decent employment soon; try and remember the FUN times before the depressing shit that went on while the vultures swept in and picked the place clean.
Hope everybody enjoys BestBuy, since now their pretty much the only choice for electronics...let's see how competitive their prices are NOW.
"The Source" owned by circuit city. It was the old Radio Shack's (tandy). They are still operating but I wouldn't buy anything requiring a guarantee cause you never know when they will go out of busisness.
