Another Good Story about Geek Squad Fleecing People
Found another article where the Geek Squad is fleecing the public. While it is a laptop motherboard, let’s put this in perspective. A new laptop will cost you 600 dollars, so the repair for a laptop should not exceed the cost of replacement. To give you an idea, the labor for building my new desktop amounted to about 2-3 hours start to finish, from assembly to installing the software. If I were to bill at 40/hour, it’d cost 120 dollars worst-case. Double the difficulty for installing a laptop motherboard (assuming I had the equipment, etc.) and we still have a 240 dollar bill, rather than a 600 dollar bill.
Drop dead, geeks.
