    Hahhahaha last line is priceless.

    Think that its not a bad idea as some buyers dont have friends or a local specialist PC store to take their broken PC too, although some Stations will be poor and some good, it all depends on the caliber of techs they take on.

    Hmm, being that Wally World buys all their stuff in China, i wonder if they will import Chinese techs for their support.
    Just a thought

    Why call it solution station though?It just opens the people who work there up to torrents of abuse when they don't have the 'solution' which often they won't,even if they fix 90% of all computers within a few hours the only word of mouth that will travel is the 10% of times they didn't have the 'solution' and had to keep the computer for days and hasn't worked properly since ect.ect. and how funny it is they didn't have the 'solution',I can just imagine a someone saying 'Solution,more like the problem!'

    I'd rather call it the Walmart computer repair and adult data retrieval station,rolls of the tongue :-D

    They will probably just revise the job description for all the Walmart Greeters, who will now become Walmart Geekers. Outside applicants need not apply :p

    Man, I obviously speak for myself on this. I sure hope this does not go big. If it does and Wallygeeks end up giving commercialized technichans a bad rap; I might catch a little fire out where I live considering there are Wal-Marts on every corner, and I work in the same field.
