Best Answer:
As a cashier, you'll probably get paid a little better than minimum wage. Since you applied during the holiday season though, MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON YOUR TOES. After New Years, Best Buy tends to lay off their Occasional/Seasonal employees (which I am 99% sure they'll put you under if you are hired). As a sales associate, you will get paid a little better per hour, but you will have to watch your quota. You do not get commission, but your job is a little less stressful than a customer service rep. As for discounts, there is no percentage. It really just depends on what you are trying to buy. For example, you might get a penny off of an iPod with your discount, while you get $50 off on a home theatre accessory. iPods, video games (and systems, NOT including accessories), mp3 players, GPS systems, laptops and computers, and cameras will not give you much of a discount, maybe a dollar off IF YOUR LUCKY. However, on TV's you can get a few hundred off, game controllers gets a pretty good cut, and cables and plugs you can get for a couple of bucks rather than the $30+ they sell for. During the holiday season, esp. on Black Friday, things will be chaotic and stressful, but always keep going.
