I assume the joke is (usually undocumented) people look for work in the parking lots of Home Depots, hoping to be hired for day labor, and the same may happen with the nerd glut in our culture and Best Buys.
I’ve never witnessed this as I live in a smaller city in Northern MN but it’s a cliche here in the States.
Yeah, west coast is a bit barren for micro center. One in LA, one in SF (when they open). I have 3 in my state (Ohio) but their headquarters is also here so shrug

The nerds haven’t hung out at best buys in years. They’re a glorified appliance store now.
Last time I went into one for a computer part, they had 3 colors of the same case fan and two different GPUs, and that was it.
Now MicroCenter, that’s where it’s at.
Where is there one? I know of one north of Atlanta and one in Dallas. There just ain’t one in Washington
There’s 1 in most major cities. I love Micro Center to death, but I sincerely doubt that most Americans live within 20 or 30 minutes of one.

Ah, right, Best Buy was the Geek Squad. That’s who would be hanging out there.
I’ve seen this at every Home Depot and Lowe’s that I have ever been to. There are always day laborers looking for work.
I wonder if it’s regional
I’ve lived and traveled all over the Pacific Northwest and been to many hardware stores throughout, and never seen it myself.
Not sure about lately, but ten years ago the Home Depot on Aurora in Seattle always had a group of guys hanging out near the entrance.
This is probably it and I was totally lost. Thank you.
