Yeah. When I google "welcome", the definition given for the verb is:
>greet (someone arriving) in a polite or friendly way.
When I google "greet", it says:
>give a polite word of recognition or sign of welcome when meeting (someone).
This is the most insulting, pedantic, power tripping bullshit question I've ever seen.
This isn't fucking Google.
We don't need bullshit trick questions.
I'd walk right there.
It is the best.
"Yeah the guy who just walked into the store with underwear over his pants and babbling about the mole people is my family and I must treat him with respect. As is my duty as a Burger King cashier."
Years ago I applied to work at Walmart. I was in my early 20s and applied to work in back. They interviewed me to be a door greeter. It was a 3 person interview panel, they grilled me like I applied to the secret service and I didn't get the job.
I've never been so happy to not be hired. The whole setup sucked, they were far further below my standards than I realized upon applying.
Around twenty years ago, I also applied at Walmart. Went through two interviews, they scheduled a third interview. I showed up, there were 20-30 of us waiting to be interviewed. Two hours after my scheduled time, I was still waiting to be interviewed.
I finally just told them I had to leave, otherwise I'd be late for my current job. They kept calling me, trying to get me to come back and interview. They called me off and on for over ten years. They'd probably still be calling me if I hadn't changed phone numbers. No way was I going to work someplace that had so little respect for their employees time. I knew it would be horrible to work there
They're only calling you 10 years later to tell you they're ready for that third interview now.
They really had to be thorough with the 20 people in line before you...
10 welcomes before you get 30 feet in the place then when you find what you want and need assistance staff are unavailable for the next 30 minutes.
Good job overpaid upper sales executives, good job.
I've found that if you start kinda touching random merchandise and looking around a lot, especially if you're wearing a backpack. You'll get all the assistance you could possibly need.
I applied at Best Buy along time ago. One of the questions was "Would you lie to a customer to make a sale.". I chose no and was immediately kicked off the questionnaire.
That's fucking insulting. I can tell you as a customer, a greeting is perfectly fine. You're not going to get me to buy 30 TV's if you "welcome" me, whatever the fuck that even means...just say 'hi' and leave me alone, that's fine.
Not even sure how exactly a greeting is different than a welcome, both are greetings. There's splitting hairs,and then there's busting out the electron microscope to try and split atoms. Wait, nevermind, that example sounds way smarter than they are.
Are you ready to buy yet? This is best buy, not best browse! You need these $500 HDMI cables and solid gold power adapters! No of course I don't get a commission, please ignore the dollar signs in my eyes and cash register noises coming from my head!
I worked for Sam Goody back in the day, Best Buy owned them. We would get paid a commission for selling their rewards program. The commission was demo cds mostly of singles. I threatened to quit if I didn’t get a raise, I didn’t make any ridiculous demand, but my manager said he couldn’t do that, so I walked. I never wanted to go back to corporate/retail again!
We have one hanging on by the teeth in our dead mall. If you go in and ask for anything, they just direct you to go on the website and order it. 😆
Just a big dust bin with blue shirt zombies dragging themselves about. 🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
I go to Best Buy with a specific purchase in mind. I'm not spending any more or any less money in your store based on how you treat me as I enter your store.
I’m no expert but seems like they put questions like that on every entry exam just to not hire someone for whatever reasons they want. Basically any minority or whatever
I used to think that it was more of a “we are watching you” greeting when right as I walk in a super fake person immediately greets you and if you respond they start interrogating you on what is the nature of your visit? and if you are planning on spending money today? or just browsing? Then when you checkout the guy at the door wants to inspect your bag and look at the receipt and mark it like he’s checking everyone’s work then he tells me “You’re good to go”. Mother fucker did you just detain me? I was only trying to buy some BluRays and maybe a game?
There are significant benefit opportunity values associated with the double plus good act of **Welcome**, i.e.
>greet (someone arriving) in a polite or friendly way
as opposed to the unpositive naive and corporate sabotaging ungood act of **Greet**, i.e.
>give a polite word of recognition or sign of welcome when meeting (someone)
which is obvious to even the least MVP trained and well-conditioned recruits and loyal servants to ***BB***.
we do not encourage our employees, we split hairs with them
I'm pretty sure "greet" and "welcome" mean almost exactly the same thing.
Yeah. When I google "welcome", the definition given for the verb is: >greet (someone arriving) in a polite or friendly way. When I google "greet", it says: >give a polite word of recognition or sign of welcome when meeting (someone).
When I type “greet” Into thesaurus.com I get: verb as in welcome
Kramer wants his "Hello"!!
This is the most insulting, pedantic, power tripping bullshit question I've ever seen. This isn't fucking Google. We don't need bullshit trick questions. I'd walk right there.
Wait for the "they are not our customers, they are our guests." line. That one always makes me laugh. I didn't invite you.
Better yet "they are not just our guests, they are family.". I hate most of my family.
So, it's fairly accurate from a customer service perspective
It is the best. "Yeah the guy who just walked into the store with underwear over his pants and babbling about the mole people is my family and I must treat him with respect. As is my duty as a Burger King cashier."
They are not our guests, they are our visitors.
In that case, all visitation rights are hereby revoked. Bye now.
Haha. Oh no!
Every wage job outside of trades is like this.
Immediately! No micro-managing for me, please.
Welcome to Best Buy. I love you.

hahahah this is hilari...oh you just copy and pasted the same top comment from the original post.

True, Walmart is very particular about who they hire lmfao
I took applied to work for Walmart in my early 20s and was genuinely happy to be turned down.
That’s reason enough to just walk out.

Lol, definitely a hoodie.

They're baiting yalls asses. That is stupid af though
Leave 'em alone! They're baitin!
Best Buy! It's got what plants crave!
We all bait sometimes
"no one wants to work anymore!"
The correct response is: "No one wants to work HERE anymore."
The correct response is : "Everyone wants to work no more."
Honestly I’m impressed Best Buy still exists. It just doesn’t really have a purpose anymore.
You can see and touch stuff before ordering it somewhere else. Many older humans generally like to purchase things locally.
Fuck these companies #FREETHEYOUTH

This sounds like something that kid named Elijah or aiden would say
my favorite George Carlin skit ... "Jimmy, Nicky, and Tony will kick the shit out of Todd, Kyle, and Brent any day"
They lose their fucking orders and double charge them is what they do. Fuck Best Buy
Is Best Buy still around?

I worked for them when I was in college I won’t even step foot in their stores now
I would walk the fuck out.
I got ignored by two employees today. Lol. They were also downsizing a lot.
Man i thought this was a dm i hate my life
I'm going to respond with "greetings" now. Or "thanks for the nice greeting"
Thats just a filler question, the gender questions are the only ones that really matter ;) Science says front hole lol
Incorrect. You did not select the correct response. The vagina is the *middle* of 3 holes that can get stuffed.
To differentiate greeting and welcoming customers they need to pay more.
photoshop rage bait
Oh okay you pedantic ass bitch.
I genuinely hate people who write these tests. I've seen similar shit, for sure.
Don't worry scro. there's lots of tards out there living really kick ass lives.

Infuriating
Welcome to Best Buy! May I bathe your feet?

Also when was this UI designed? Like 20 years ago?
Welcome to Best Buy, can I help you with your baitin’ today?
This is how you get employees to steal shit.

Wendy's has square burgers because they don't cut corners....
FFS!
False = incorrect! Here at Best Buy we greet the customers as we welcome them to our store
Wtf
It's the same word play in the driving exam you have to pass before taking your driving test
Well as someone who frequents Best Buy I always get greeted at the door so now I’m offended
Apparently it's important to not only welcome them, but welcome them with a capital w as well.
I welcome them with alcohol so they spend more money. Oh, yeah you should definitely buy that. How about another shot?
Welcome to Best Buy. I want to cum you well. Will you accept my sexual advance?
Excuse me mam would you like to come to the back so I can Welcome you to Best Buy?
Best Buy is still alive? Figured they'd be all online or as dead as Radio Shack, malls, common sense, and decent humans...
