hahaha BEST!
i remember skating the big corner of the building that would roll in & out to lock the front door.
that was prolly the best security feature i've ever seen.
aaahhh...memories.
sounds like it's time for some clearance sales!:banana:
BTW you forgot Beeno's...

ive never had any good experience with good guys stores..usually full of retards that try to force you into buying a product, hassle you, act like a complete jerk, dont treat you with respect, etc etc...i worked for compusa for a year (same guy owns goodguys) and i am happy to see them closed, their prices were normally more than most others and i'll never buy anything from either company...if anyone worked at either store, you'll know why its such a horrible place to be...i think sonicsuby said he worked there as well iirc

Yeah, the Good Guys have always had a good, loyal staff. Their marketing just wasn't up to par with BestBuy and Circuit City so now they're being muscled out. Also, the Good Guys incident in April of 1991 went down as one of the biggest hostage situations in this nation's history. This certainly did not help their image around that time period.

If he's lucky he'll get a severance and should be able to get another retail job without much effort, meaning he'll get paid
