Stupid people

So this guy comes into best buy wanting a cheap computer and we show him our cheapest one for 345, and he says no “I want to see the cheap computers”. After giving him a quick laugh under my voice I switch to a stupid look because he is dead serious, I tell him that this is as cheap as it gets, and he walks off in an angry storm. So a few hours pass and I am up front working on computers again when I get this phone call about a guy that can’t get his new computer to start because the colors do not match and the modem is not on. He keeps going on and on about the colors and won’t stop yakking so I transfer him to the geek squad help desk and let them deal with them. About an hour later I see the same guy back in the store wanting to get some help on the new computer he bought, so he puts it on the counter, and it is just an empty case that we sell for about 50 bucks and a self install modem (PCI) that’s about $30. Trying my hardest not to laugh at him, I try to explain that a computer is more that just a case and that you needs parts and spinning things on the inside for them to work. His first response is well “my monitor does all of that”. “NO, Sir I am afraid it does not work that way”. After he sat there in a stupid blank stare for about a minute he says “well you see the real problem is that there is no color coding on the back here, if I knew which spot to plug them there wires in this would work just fine”. I then grabbed the box from his fingers and opened it to prove that it was in fact empty, to know surprise he still had another stupid thought lurking in that brain of his. “Well, can I just buy this 40 dollar upgrade”? No sir that is and upgrade from the 345 dollar pc to a 385 dollar pc. He just responded with, “Don’t yawl sell any cheap computers”?
