    Yeah, no way 2021 doesn't 'Hold my beer' soon at 2020. I was worried for a second yesterday after Tiger's accident.

    Oh god the horror stories I could share from working there.

    My favorites being that they honestly felt online shopping was a fad that would die out, which is why they never really invested in an e-commerce site. Someone on reddit put it best, they were the Sears of Electronics. Big footprint (at least on the west coast), great selection, everything under one roof and they felt they were too big to fail, and never adjusted with the times till it was too late.

    Among the other many things I saw or was a part of. A former exec being jailed and convicted of extensive fraud and embezzlement totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to fuel his Vegas excursions and most likely benders.

    A credit card we were threatened with firing if we didn't push and sign enough people up, that for the first 3+ years had literally zero perks and a 26% interest rate, and being told we should say establishing credit is a big enough perk to sign up for.

    Clocking people out at 11:59pm on Black Friday, clocking them back in at 12:01am to avoid overtime/double time pay for employees who were forced to work

    A quite literal home brew POS system that constantly crashed and couldn't handle the scale and volume as the company grew because they refused to pay for an established one.

    A refusal to have any sort of internet access or broadband for the service department, telling us to update virus definitions on our actual pirated anti virus software on our own time because they thought we'd dick around on the internet all day instead of working. To go along with that, we used to be partnered with Earthlink. When they gave up their kiosk, they forgot to disable their DSL, so the service department bought a cheap wireless router, hooked it up to the broadband and hid it in the top stock from the aisle across from us as that's where the booth was so we could actually get the utilities and downloads we needed at work. Was great for a year till corporate found out and was walking around the entire store with a wifi detector, trying to find our router.

    Queen of the Nurburgring, Sabine Schmitz, 51, cancer.

    Here's arguably her standout Top Gear moment, where she blasted round the Ring in a cargo van.
