(And for those of you that don't know what the Peter Principal is, basically it's a statement that says that people will continue to rise in their given profession until they become incompetent in their job. In other words, if you are competent in your job you will get promoted up the next rung of the corporate ladder.. and you will continue to do so for as long as you are competent and can do your job. But eventually you'll hit a spot where you cannot do the job...it's bigger than you can do. That means that you are now incompetent. That's your Peter Principal position).
Like I said at the beginning, it sounds like someone at CompUSA Corporate has now hit their Peter Principal position. They are incompetent.

Call Joe...see if there would be any backlash on him for you to contact corporate...it's a published number...there is some technical issue they haven't come to grips with...they'll have to step up soooner or later...they can't just keep their heads in the sand and lose that much business...we did credit card purchases over the phone at the restaurant all the time...it's no big deal...
