COMMENTARY

• The comic starts by showing how to begin the sale of a Playstation 2 video game console. No, we were never told to interrupt customers to get an upper hand, that was made up.
• For about 2.5 of the 3 years I was there, we did keep video game systems in the back, and we were always told it was for security reasons, but many employees, including myself, always figured they were really back there so customers had to make contact with an employee and therefore would be offered accessories, services, etc.
• The salesman makes a comment that the base system costs $299, but to get a decent set-up, one would need to spend $450-$500; I was instructed by a former supervisor to make nearly that identical sales pitch to customers.
• What I described as coming with a standard Playstation 2 was true for that time.
