When I was in college I worked at the stores in Paramus, Syosset and Westbury. For a tech crazed kid it was the best job. The hours were long though and they were always pushing us to sell some rather shady stuff. I know that we were always told to steer people away from SONY because the margin was small. Oh yes the codes with the two 9's in them, that gave us the "cost"
I forgot to mention that I still own audio and video stuff I bought there in the late 70's when I worked there. I have a Sony TV, cassette deck and a Technics receiver that are still going strong in my kids room. And I still have the receipts. I cant remember the names of anyone I worked with, but I was part of the very first crew that opened the Westbury store. We trained in Paramus, and then opened the new store. It was at the Paramus store I saw my very first XXX film. I guess they sold them there kind of on the sly. When no one was around the guys in TV would put them up on the screens.
Did you train in the Audio Dept.? If so then I trained you I was also at Westbury for the opening. By any chance did you have red hair? Please don't post my full name here but PM me.
