Best Buy

When I arrived back here around Father's Day this summer as I always do, I realized that I had left several items back at my home in Japan that I should have remembered to bring. I thought I did, but evidently, I had so much to pack, close up and organize for the summer there, that I thought I had packed it because i had the thing in mind, but I was so busy that it didn't actually get put into my suit case. Sheeh, the face paced world that we all live in, and especially living literally cross country from one side of the world to the next each year. It can truly be a challenge at times, but most of the time I wouldn't give it up for the world, and all things are beautiful in my life; a life that i am truly grateful to have. Anyway, to get more to the point, I realized upon my arrival back in Jonesborough, Tn, that I had forgotten my power cord to my new mac lap top which I'd had to buy probably 2 weeks before I got back here. My other little laptop was around 8 or 9 years old and wasn't tickin anymore. I went straight out to Best Buy, which has a telling use of it's language embedded in the very name of the store. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to get the best buy anytime, anywhere that they could for any item? So, I went to the store out on State of Franklin, and I got my new cord for my Mac Pro; seventy dollars after I'd just spent around 1300. dollars for the notebook with microsoft office package for MACs. On the bright side, I've been able to use my computer here all summer, and will just leave my new cord here, as i have another at home, and won't have to re-pack one to have to bring with me on the trip next year. I can just fold up my laptop, and bring it in my carry on. No extra cords, and I use a verizon wireless device when I get here. Best Buy, I've noticed, is not the cheapest place in town to buy computer products or electronics, but they want you to think that, so what a savvy marketing ploy, to embed the subliminal message that they want to create in your mind by putting it right into the title of their store, BEST BUY. Wal-mart is known to be one of the cheapest places to buy lots of things, but they didn't have to embed some message like that into the name of their title to get customers to come, or keep them coming.
