Exactly. What's worse, I know someone who, when they were desperate
for a job, applied there. CompUSA is one of the last retail electronics
chains out there (save RadioShack) who still operate their business such
that the salesdroids rely mostly on commission for their income. And it
operates in an MLM/pyramid scheme fashion: if you sell something, you
get a little cut, your manager gets a cut, his supervisor gets a larger
cut, and so on. This is why you'll find people there who know nothing
about what they're selling except they'd like to sell you the most
expensive thing on the shelves.

DISH is nice unless you're a big sports fan. If you're huge on sports,
then DirecTV is what you want... that's what they've positioned
themselves for, and have a greater sports variety than DISH. Of course,
this comes at a price of having fewer other channels...

Not to knock DISH, I'm a DISH customer myself. But then I'm not too
much of a sports fan.
