5 Things We’ll Miss About Circuit City

After a lengthy period of cutbacks and store closings, Circuit City finally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy yesterday. This was about as much of a surprise as Adrienne Bailon looking incredible naked, but it still caused the predictable round of questions from the business community.
So in the spirit of celebration, we thought we’d take a look back at what made Circuit City so damn lovable (especially for the people who worked there). We’ll probably not even notice you’re gone miss you, Big Red…
* EMPLOYEES FUCKING WITH EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF WORKING
Though we do love a good prank backfiring.
* EMPLOYEES SPENDING THEIR BREAKS DANCING
And horribly, we might add. Is that the worm, or are you trying to impregnate the concrete floor?
* EMPLOYEES STEALING FROM THEIR OWN STORES
Not much of a surprise, but still fucking stupid–especially if you get caught. How do you do something like this and NOT get away with it?
* EMPLOYEES GIVING EACH OTHER RELATIONSHIP ADVICE
Mooj is right: it’s about love, it’s about connection, not cock and ass and tits and butthole pleasures and rusty trombones and dirty Sanchez and Cincinnati bowtie and pussy juice cocktails and shitstained balls.
* EMPLOYEES GETTING FIRED FOR BEING TOO EXPERIENCED

In the interest of cost-cutting, CC last year canned more than 3,000 employees who earned “well above the market-based salary range for their role.” That included mostly supervisors and people with seniority–i.e., people who were old enough not to live in a dorm–who promptly sued the company for age discrimination.
