I Never Liked This Store Anyway

Circuit City is firing 3,400 of its in-store workers because they make too much money.

Generally speaking, these would be people who have worked for the company a long time and have accumulated raises over the years, like these two guys, who have worked there since the days of blank cassettes and boomboxes.

But don't cry for them - they can apply for their old jobs back, at a lower pay rate, after a waiting period of 10 weeks. I can only presume that the expectations for their job performance will be lower, too.

As for me, I'm not shopping there anymore.
