YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! The contents of this page have been bought with taxpayer money! |
The Best Buy in Charlottesville is where Chris spends yet more of his tugboat money on games, PSN cards and other PS3 accessories. On 22 September 2010, Clyde Cash leaked a zip file loaded with Chris's Best Buy invoices. Much like his sex store purchases, Chris appears to prefer buying things which involve a discount or promotion.

Chris has saved $75 of your tax dollars through discounts, which does little to redeem his largely frivolous spending habits.
There is a record for what appears to be a canceled transaction on 9 February 2010, for a $19.99 Nintendo Wii 2,000 Points Card. It's possible that Chris's credit card was declined on this occasion, and the fact he didn't purchase anything from Best Buy for nearly a month after would indicate that this was the case.
Gas Chris wasted driving to Best Buy
Below are some rough calculations about how much gas Chris has wasted with his trips to Best Buy. The actual amount spent is likely more, as he may drive there regularly to browse or kick da hexbox without spending any money. While Chris has previously mentioned that his mother pays for his gas, it doesn't change the fact that money was spent on gas that was ultimately wasted by Chris.
Driving distance to Best Buy Charlottesville | 11.7 miles | 19 km |
Miles driven per trip | 23.4 miles | 38 km |
Estimated MPG of Son-Chu | 23 MPG [1] | 10.2 L/100km |
Estimated gas price in Virginia | $2.60/gal. | 69¢/L |
Number of trips we know Chris made | 43 | |
Total distance travelled | 1,006.2 miles | 1,619 km |
Total gas used | 43.75 gallons | 165.6 litres |
Total value of gas Chris wasted on trips to Best Buy: $113.75 |
Putting things to perspective, the total distance he travelled to go to Best Buy to spend his tugboat is about equivalent to the distance from Ruckersville to Junction City, Kansas; in other words, a lot of gas could've gone to better use.
Chris's dealings with Best Buy support
Included in the leaked documents were the contents of a support email Chris sent to Best Buy, regarding a "10 Dollar Certificate" which had been redeemed without his consent. While Chris got a pretty standard response to his email, we once again get a glimpse about what happens you come between a manchild and his free money.

Christian,
I apologize for the confusion. Your account is set up to automatically issue a certificate when you account reaches 250 points so it issued a $10 certificate automatically on Sunday. There is a 3-5 wait before the certificates can be printed so they will be ready on Friday. Sorry for the inconvenience Thank you for contacting Best Buy Reward Zone Have a good day |
