   Allright, can I have one minute of fame here ?? please :)
   They even got my name all wrong, it should be Cherian Abraham, not the
   other way around..sheesh!
   Its true. This all went down last Friday at the Best Buy store at
   Tucker, GA. I am just gonna repeat what happened word by word. Makes
   quite an interesting reading. And I would really appreciate if you
   guys could tell me where I should go from here.
   So I went to BB at Tucker,GA last Friday armed with the receipts, my
   original and the copies I printed from the site. I was dumb enough to
   trust BB and I didnt have anyone to take along with me for the ride. I
   know I should have.
   There was only one card left on the aisle, so I grabbed with a couple
   of other things (a 80GB HD and a Platinum Audigy) and went to the
   counter. There was this customer service lady who told me that six or
   seven people have been trying to PM with the same receipt there and
   its not possible. She said that the receipt was a fake, the guy who
   created it is no longer with BB etc. She asked me if I wanted to talk
   to the manager, so I said yes.
   Out comes the General Manager called Rod, I politely explained why I
   am there. He asked me to follow him to a separate room. He did not
   want to discuss further details standing outside, he wanted me to
   follow him. Neither did he tell me then and there that I should get
   the heck out of there. I was kinda hesitant at first, but I thought no
   better of it and followed him. Inside we sat down and started going
   through the receipts. Then another guy, a sales manager called Paul
   McKim comes in, and suddenly Rod jumps out and drags him out
   whispering something. Rod comes back in and we start going through the
   same shit again. I believed that I would make him see the sense of it
   if I kept my cool and explained everything . He was giving me all
   fucked up reasons and all I wanted was a yes or no. He told me "I dont
   know whether I can pricematch that low, but let me ask my Sales
   manager".
   15 mins later, cops walk in. Then I knew they were stalling me on all
   the time, that he was just waiting there, making sure I was there till
   the cops arrive. Anyway I still kept my cool and explained to them the
   reason why I was there. Half an hour goes by and I am still alone in
   the room with the cops talking to them. Cops are all the time outside
   talking to BB and not even bothering to listen to my story.
   In comes on of the cops, cuffs me (God that hurts) and then tells me
   that I was cuffed so that I wouldnt hurt anyone. Yeah right!. So here
   I am cuffed for the first time of my life and humiliated. Then they
   told me that I was being arrested for Fraud and that I am being taken
   to the Dekalb Office and a detective would take it up from there on.
   They brought me out amidst the whole store, but I kept my head high ,
   because I hadnt done anything wrong and I had nothing to worry about.
   Cops took me on a joy ride for half an hour and it was a damn
   uncomfortable one. Once there, they took me to this holding pen alone
   and made me wait there. In comes one black lady, who looked far more
   reasonable and intelligent than all the three cops combined, and she
   told me that she is going to talk to the BB guy (Paul) first and then
   myself. I waited there for almost an hour (the whole thing took from
   11:30 till 3:30) and then she came in and asked me for my story. I
   explained her everything. She tells me then that she does not believe
   BB's story that I forged the receipt. Looks like they first told her
   that the receipt was a Fraudulent one and that they have proof to that
   effect, but once we all got to the precinct changed the story saying
   that they cant prove it anymore. Also they changed the charge from
   Fraud to Criminal Trespass, though at no time whatsoever they had
   asked me to leave the store. I work as an Analyst for a firm in
   Atlanta and I was looking quite respectable in my work clothes.
   anyway, she told me that BB does not want me as a customer and I told
   her that I would be happy to take my business elsewhere.
   She told me that they had changed their tactics from "Forging the
   receipt" to "Trespassing - not leaving the store even when I were
   asked to". I told her that all the time the General manager Rod,
   wanted to keep me there so that the cops would come in, and never he
   asked me to leave the store. She sympathised with me and told me that
   she ended up warning the guy from BestBuy.
   So here I am Vindicated, Harassed, Ridiculed. Given up ? Hell no! I
   guess thats one thing you learn when you are a geek.
