It certainly is based on your very very narrow experience with one single store.nospam
i'd estimate that in somewhere around half the visits, there is at least one problem camera on display, either visually, such as missing a lens or otherwise obviously broken, or something wrong in actual testing, such as with a dead battery or otherwise non-functional.so it's not 4%.Tony Cooper
It is 4-point-something for the one store that I reported on. Actual figures used, not "way more" and "probably" or "based on my experience".
I've made no claim for Best Buy stores other than the one store that I actually checked out.Which renders the claim as statistical information worthless.
You, however, use the broad brush without actually checking.You mean, other than his explicit claim about: "I'd estimate that in somewhere around half the visits", which means that he has at least visited enough stores for a number of them being "about half", which puts it roughly in at least around ten stores (4/10 is "about half"), so he already has ten times as much statistical data than you (i.e. infintaely more, since you have none).
All it really points out is that some Best Buy managers do a better job than others in seeing that the display products are functional and in working order.No it doesn't.
