One big reason that this subcontracting is a big N-O for guys like us is that Best Buy has already attempted to sell these customers all add-ons and products. If you're going into a project where no one has talked to these clients yet, you have the opportunity to sell additional products/services (ex: web lead). On these types of jobs, the client has already been pitched on cables, power, warranty, etc. so you're there in most cases just for the $1.00/hour installation.

Giant waste of time.
