    I assume the joke is (usually undocumented) people look for work in the parking lots of Home Depots, hoping to be hired for day labor, and the same may happen with the nerd glut in our culture and Best Buys.

    I’ve never witnessed this as I live in a smaller city in Northern MN but it’s a cliche here in the States.

      The nerds haven’t hung out at best buys in years. They’re a glorified appliance store now.

      Last time I went into one for a computer part, they had 3 colors of the same case fan and two different GPUs, and that was it.

      Now MicroCenter, that’s where it’s at.

      I’ve seen this at every Home Depot and Lowe’s that I have ever been to. There are always day laborers looking for work.
