Tune Ups : Staples Tries To Charge Senior Citizen $390 For Basic Computer Repair

Reader Michael watched incredulously as a Staples tech tried to convince a senior citizen that his computer wouldn't work properly without repairs costing almost $400.The senior, who had been lulled into Staples for a free tune up that suddenly cost $39.99, didn't understand why he needed to spend money on a "diagnostic screening ($49.99), virus removal services ($150), and more RAM (~$150)." Michael intervened and offered to look at the computer free of charge. He couldn't believe what he found when he popped open the computer.

this is an outrage, i've never shopped at staples, but i never will now that i've heard this! that person should be sued for fraud or watever the fancy lawer term is! in closing, that person should have a very guilty conscince for what he's done. if not, i'm not responsible for any "mis-haps". jk jk, but really, wow

It's disgusting the way people try and take advantage of the elderly.
