Want A Free iPad 2? Get A Job At Best Buy
If you already work for Best Buy that you could be in for a very nice treat from your employers. Forbes are reporting that ‘a major US retailer’, presumed to be Best Buy, are preparing to give all of their 180,000 full-time, part-time and seasonal retail staff their very own Apple magical device.
The thought process behind the deal is that Best Buy employees could sell the merits of the iPad more if they constantly use them and are seen doing so. Of course, the employees would be in constant view and using these devices in the store, hence promoting Apple’s wares ‘in the best possible taste’.
There’s no news on the time scale of this roll out yet but with rumors flying around already, we don’t suppose it will be long.
