At least Sheldon was try to help the customer.

[@BhargabpPaul-nx2zq]

And the same time others are paid to help the customers 😢

[@Flinsanityforever]

All he had to say was “I do know. But I don’t work here.” But of course, Sheldon being Sheldon wouldn’t do that. And you would think the customers would realize that he’s not wearing the “Best Buy” uniform (cmon we all know who they’re pretending to be)

[@mirradian3353]

I side with Sheldon here (except for almost ghosting on the birthday party) but as far as all the rest of it, it was nice to see Sheldon be nice. Not to mention I’ve had jobs similar to the kind of retail they’re describing here, truth is the company really doesn’t care. They just want employees who stock shelves, clean messes and don’t “waste time” with customer interactions. They don’t even give you any training to know about any of the products anyway :( just “point the customer in a direction so they can go buy something”

[@quadeong7453]

1:03 I like how the customer is like "You know what, he has a point"

[@TranTuan-jr6zv]

lol. I didn’t notice. It makes it even funnier. Thanks!

The lady's reactions at 0:59. She went from a shocked "What?" to a "Ooooh! Burn!" smirk.

Can criticize him however they want but it seems Sheldon was doing a better job than the real employees 😂😂😂😂

[@benlange7124]

Whenever he wants he can do better than anyone at almost everything (except for driving) like when he worked at the cheesecake factory

[@alpha5664]

​@@benlange7124 that's the real reason a lot of people hate him. Sure he is annoying but everyone else is just as difficult to put up with, they criticize him for it while tolerating it in themselves.

[@DoctorEmpirical]

If he were to actually work there the computer store couldn't afford him. The less competent employees are what they're willing to pay for.

[@Gabbythebaker]

Wow, I saw a different side of Sheldon. He was so helpful.

[@TshiamoDre]

I don't think you've interpreted the show well if you think Sheldon is this out and out bad guy.

[@suhailahmed2090]

He is only helpful when it comes to his likeness of things and topics of him He can also lie and keep secrets if he wants to have things for him but not orhers

Sheldon likes to let people know that he is a person who knows many things; he also likes to tell others what to do. It is obvious that he is willing to give advice on what device to buy. It's not different from the usual Sheldon😂

[@cStatE95]

The manager i guess, could've buttered him up and sell him the idea to work for free 😂

[@HeatRaver]

I think he was content to let Sheldon keep doing what he was doing, only stepping in once someone (Penny) complained.

[@KennyG881]

Normally, I would say Sheldon is very obnoxious, but I gotta side with him on this one. He was incredibly helpful to random people and didn't expect anything in return (something he almost never does). Plus, he makes a good point about that password.

[@Puggalug]

Agreeed. Can’t help but notice a similar side effect was achieved when Sheldon was cleaning out the closets of Penny, and then later with Bernadette. Doesn’t seem to care about the effort to be helpful to people, yet provided a satisfying end result , with no obnoxiousness whatsoever.

[@Henry-kz4gn]

there are no two sides of which to choose to the part of him just being helpful to other people, no, the "other side" isnt that sheldon was doing wrong by being helpful to customers, thats not what the "you dont work here" was about, the other side is that he shouldnt be hacking into their computers accessing employee information. just like theres a big difference betwen sneaking into someones house in the night while they are sleeping without their permission, and organizing someones space with their complete knowledge, the issue was never "cleaning".

[@San-lh8us]

@@Puggalug i don't think helping even was his main intention, but just scratching that OCD itch from seeing unorganized stuff all over the closets

[@Daniel-rd6st]

1:02 Sheldon has a point, considering he had access to an (badly secured) computer terminal for what it seems an extended amount of time without anyone of the employes noticing.

[@nasis18]

Sheldon happily helping people.

[@jessedellross3245]

I don’t blame Sheldon at all here. Until he went on the computer

[@henrypeters5291]

To paraphrase Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley. That is not hacking, that is natural selection.

[@KellyBoland13]

Once while working at McDs in a mall I went to the Indigo book store before work, people kept assuming I worked there and asking me for help and I just helped them find the books they were looking for. At one point someone asked to preorder something and I was like "ok, sure, you'll need an employee for that!" And brought them to a nearby employee. Both the employee and person looked confused like "wait... You don't work here?" 😂

[@ilovefunnyamv2nd]

should have told the employee "No, but I'd love to speak to the manager about changing my employment status"

[@Tigerman1138]

Been there.

[@highroyds]

Lmao and people are still using 1234 as their password 😂

[@catw6998]

It’s pretty bad when businesses do though.

[@San-lh8us]

yea, thats why i go 10x safer and put 12345 as my password, it's actually close to 10.0040519, but i round it down to 10x safer

[@chesscomsupport8689]

Yeah, that's just stupid. It's like they're asking people to hack them. I use 35279752131adg as my password - it's super secure!

"1-2-3-4 is not a secure password." I said something similar to an employee of an H&R branch in regards to their WiFi network, back when I was a troublesome teenager. They closed down less than a year later.

[@happymittens9708]

Why did Best Buy not hire him after this is my question 😂

[@catw6998]

The guy couldn’t least ask Sheldon if he’d like to apply for a job there?☺️

[@TheAccidentalViking]

Because he's a theoretical physicist? Penny maybe told him that? This is funny because it reminds me of my kid. He's been working at the university lab assisting students, grad students and professors. He started at 17 but everyone thinks he's older and already a qualified engineer, so they have him do the work his boss otherwise would do. He goes into these big box electronic places and immediately starts speaking a different language at me. He'll be trade qualified this summer, but I think he should just go for the BSc in something. He was basically teaching the first years how to build the basics because they'd come to him in the lab with the same mess and same questions. I think he'd go nuts if he had to work in retail. So would Sheldon.

[@aronnemcsik]

​@@TheAccidentalViking I think they could offer Sheldon part time since he already have a job at the Uni. I think he would actually be really helpful to both the shop and to the customers.

[@user-lv5zz7wv6l]

Remember that time he spent a whole shopping trip optimising the cheese isle it’s obvious this wasn’t the last time he would take over somewhere without permission

[@CatoNumbla]

One of my favorite Big Bang storylines! Hilarious! 🤣🤣 And as always, the best storylines involve Sheldon & Penny! Sheldon was so helpful and cute here. And in fact, he was helpful like this regularly on the show. He had a huge ego, sure, but most of the time he was simply right, so it was justified.

[@KerbalLauncher]

Didn't realize, but this store is supposed to be a parody of Microcenter, which is about an hour to two hours south of Pasadena in Tustin. You can tell by their uniforms.

[@TacticalHatchet]

I'm guessing the actual employees don't really give a shit about helping the customers, they were just threated that they'd lose their easy income source because of someone who actually does anything.

[@Lorscia]

I don't know how it does work in the U.S., but in my country the tech stores always have an employee nearby those stations with the computer, and when they aren't there is because they are busy helping another customer.

[@TacticalHatchet]

@@Lorscia Yeah, it doesn't work like that in the US. We are the worst at everything, and it somehow gets even worse with time.

[@ponnappaganapathy9941]

I can't necessarily say this is a good side to Sheldon. Helping people is one thing, but the OCD need to fix things to his specs, like in the cheese aisle, is when things go overboard. He definitely shouldn't do things like hack the computer, rearrange an aisle etc

[@SoundxHunter]

[@andrewjoyce9038]

As usual penny ruins everything

[@Lorscia]

To anyone suggesting Sheldon can be good at costumer service I say no, he can't be. A customer service employee doesn't just need to be good at the technical side of his job, he also need to be patient and polite towards the customers, no matter how ignorant he or she may be or how stupid might be his or her problem. Considering he is a guy who often remarks his sense of superiority and expose other's ignorance in a rude way and he is so stupid (socially speaking) that he can't even see it, I think the shop will recieve quite a lot of critics and bad reviews within a short period. If I was the manager I would hire Sheldon as a tech-guy working in the storage, at the back of the shop, away from the clients.
