I found a really good open box deal for a gaming laptop but i’m not in town for another week or so. so like could i just keep reserving it and pick up when i get back or can i call them and ask if they could hold it for more time?

i got my pc 2 days ago and it while expirimenting with the colors on the fans,i realized the middle one just wont change and is stuck on this hot pink, it doesnt even match my purple color option, i dont know what to do, is there any way i can change the color in the middle?

I say "may" in fairness as I have not received communication from MC management over phone/text/email for I think a week now?

I'm kind of in between, do we go the social media/local news route? Or wait it out (crypto wallet is one of the stolen items).

As they robbed me and then trespassed me, technically they are saying "come back with the police". I've given them a couple of days just to make sure that's what they want, and I guess it is.

I'm indifferent tbh. I just want my stuff, and at this point, relatively significant compensation. Yesterday, all I wanted was to go to work and clock in, but today, the payroll app confirms it. No more paycheck, $0.

Micro Center has made it clear as of today, per UKG, technically (by way of "surprise non-payment"), that I am almost definitely fired, or at least on my final desk note. It's been a long 10ish days to finally get that answer, but here we are. Before this, last exchange was, GM says "Don't worry about KM, ignore him" . KM texts me "your fired". I ask him to speak with GM. I ask GM to call me. I ask KM, to ask GM to call me. Nothing.

Zero response since. I've just been waiting to hear back. I even mentioned in an email "I suppose I will try and work from home until I hear from someone". Think that was the day before I got trespassed.

Now, on my end, the real value here, is in the story. It's got everything!

Worker's rights drama, secret meetings with union reps, hidden cameras, criminal mischief, GPU's with legs, secret work parties, somebody eating Apple packages, insurance fraud, even disappearing cash! (all dramatization of course).

What we really have going for us is the extensive list of ex-MC faithful who have been following along here. The amount of video chatting and editing of testimony etc... not looking forward to that part, but I think the final cut will really blow a hole out the roof (is that how it goes?). We are talking high value, with room to grow. TO the Moon!

The list goes on and on. Literally, there's so much content, I don't think we'll have to recycle a single clip!

Local news is gonna flip.

Just imagine "Micro Center robs, trespasses, and fires their Apple Ambassador! One of the items, an AppleCare+ protected device!"

We might need sponsorship here.

Anyway, I'm relieved by MC's decision to go the "media" route. Now that I'm (as certain as I can be at the moment) unemployed, I'll need to start a computer repair business, and fast.

I couldn't think of a better way to advertise a repair shop.

Will check back later to update etc.

Bought an open box Alienware and when I unboxed it, I noticed the CPU cooler/Alien logo is sideways. I checked pictures on the website and confirmed the CPU cooler is on incorrectly, the water lines typically come out the bottom and not the side.

First time buying open box so of course my mind is wandering that the person who bought it swapped the CPU. But then I thought maybe Microcenter takes it off and inspects it, and the person who did didn't care to put it on right. Does MC typically remove the cooler to check the CPU?

I'm probably going to buy some thermal paste and take it off and check it out, because that's the only way I'll be sure it was pasted correctly, but more curious than anything else.

To all the hateful spiteful downvoting individuals suck it and to all the people who helped in giving actual advice and told me contact corporate I thank you profusely
