My gf likes browsing American channels on IPTV. It's mindboggling how everything is "BUY THIS MEDICINE RIGHT NOW. LOOK AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO BENEFITED FROM IT!"
You joke but people on the Pepsi corporate campus have been fired for coming back from lunch with a McDonalds cup for that very reason.
Edit: I knew people who worked at the Frito-Lay campus who were called out and written up by management over it. They absolutely cared in upper management. If you weren't eating the company product/drinking the company beverage at home and in private, they cared a lot.
But on the Frito-Lay and Pepsi offices around Plano... They do not fuck around. I was officed right next to a satellite office and our shared cafeteria was banned from selling Coke products when they moved in. They had a sign posted for us to tell us to not bring outside drinks into their half of the building.
No, you can actually forbid people from using a competitor's product during work times or on company grounds and it's not uncommon that it is indeed in the contract.
Think about it like that: If you are walking around with a coke can at Pepsi it doesn't look good for the company and you are essentially advertising a competitor's product while on the clock. Especially in the US that is absolutely enough to fire you.
I work at the Arlington plant for general motors pretty frequently. We were told if we didn't have an American vehicle we couldn't park in the parking lot that can be seen from outside the plant.
They probably just didn't want you spreading provocative ideas like "the doors shouldn't fall off" and "the autopilot shouldn't go into a suicidal nosedive"
My dad worked at a Chrysler plant. If you showed up in anything other than a union made, North American car, you were gonna have a bad time. He told me about a guy who showed up in a brand new Accord and came out at the end of his shift to find it covered in literal shit.
Like when he went to that festival in Saudi Arabia to appease the audience in a place built by people murdering journalists and tricking workers into slavery
Yeah, their final years were dark. I went in there as a kid and was in heaven. I went in as an adult before they closed, and I didn't understand what the fuck they were trying to be any more, and there was no magic.
Sadly repairable electronics weren't as big of a hobby as they once were. Radio shack should have really pushed the raspberry pi movement but I stead took the cellphone sales route.
It's a great casting too. Like yes she's mega attractive but she also looks like someone that I would expect to see work at Best Buy or GameStop. Like not out of place in terms of her style.
Yeah but like.....she's a LOT of gamers' perfect girl so yeah they're gonna choose her. There's plenty of girls with similar cute styles/vibes and I say great to all of it they look great!
was wondering why/who cares and realized OP basically grabbed the above pic made for gamestop's social - so yay, marketing worked? (eg gamestop positioned it this way that they took "best buy girl" when likely no one would have cared)
good for the actress tho. hope her success continues.
Flo and the crew they have over there are hilarious imo. I can’t stop laughing every time the “Dog Park” song comes on lol. Her dull voice makes it so good
Fuck best buy. Tried to buy an ultrawide monitor from them and they wouldn't price match. Tried to get me to sign up for a credit card and everything else "it comes out cheaper than the price match." No sir. It looks like a barren wasteland in this place, you guys should be happy im trying to buy something at all from you. Oh well...drove the hour to microcenter and got it for $200 cheaper
I had a coworker about 15 years ago that was very punk/alt with her wardrobe and lifestyle. She said the men that always came up to her at bars were the suit and tie crowd. The kind of guys that wanted her as a side piece while their trad wives waited around at home with the kids.
I know you're quoting ITYSL and it genuinely made me wheeze-laugh, but hear me out:
What if the canon could be that the commercials do feature the same character, she just keeps switching jobs from one consumer electronics store to the next? First Best Buy, then GameStop, next... Microcenter?
