Buy them all, wait a few years, and then make a killing selling them to hipsters for $30 each as \"vintage\".

@Alexander: Unfortunately, they will only buy the shirts in size Extra Small. Anything larger will go to waste.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/css/images/default.gif\")
@Bluth_Cornballer: True, but you could make bags or throw pillows out of the larger shirts. I bet they would sell even to non-hipsters!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-500755-100x100.png\")
I want one!
I'd go to the Unemployment office and cry.
Buy them all, hold them for a few months/years, then make a killing to whoever buys CircuitCity.com.
I'd consider buying some for a buck. Not a big fan of red shirts though.
You could always wear them when you cut the grass or change your oil.

@redskull: Wow. I'd never really thought about the red shirts. Maybe the red shirt effect was what really did Circuit City in.
@redskull:
I would buy them all and send them to the Improv Everywhere people. They'll find a good use for them, I'm sure.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-429538-100x100.png\")
@SJActress: I'd buy one for me and all my friends, then go hang out at the local Best Buy just to see if people gave us any weird reactions. I can imagine it'd be worth a laugh or two.
@Preyfar: O please, go to BB and perform customer service! Imagine the weird look when someone asks you if anybody helped you today and you just say the guy in the CC shirt.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-570288-100x100.png\")
If there was a Consumerist store, I would imagine this being a top seller.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-81067-100x100.png\")
Buy a whole bunch, use them to make a tent. Then put one on and set up outside of Best Buy with a cardboard sign that says \"Will give poor service for food. No need to go inside.\"
@Donathius: Or, just walk around Best Buy in one, and see how many people ask \"Do you work here?\" or \"Can you help me...?\"
Be rude too, and see how many people say they are going to report you to the manager.

Head start on next Halloween. I'm a scary Circuit City salesperson! Trick or Treat, buy the extended warranty! Ooga Booga, we only sort-of price match!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-291935-100x100.png\")
@Applekid: I used to work at Circuit City and did this 2 years in a row. It was a huge success. I used women's red eyeliner to put pimples all over my face, too. And whenever someone would ask for a beer I would ask them if they would also like the extended warranty. I even had the name tag. It was perfect.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-270824-100x100.png\")
@Applekid: The problem, of course, is that no one has actually seen a Circuit City Salesman- and, chances are, when they saw you, they would no doubt ask about their computer they dropped off.
Too funny, they'd make great halloween costumes!

... gimme.
I worked there when these shirts first came out and htey were like gold, couldn't get one to save my life.
Sadly, I still have like 3 shirts from those days...
@CSUSam:
Word. I have CC long/short sleve polos, Roadshop mechanic's shirts, and a bunch of vendor swag shirts and hats (Sirius, Pioneer, Eclipse, etc.)...and a few winter coats. No, I wasn't a manager - I just liked free stuff and did what I could to find it.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-537475-100x100.png\")
I sense a future Improv Everywhere stunt in which dozens of people are given these shirts and are set loose inside a Best Buy or Target.
See....my.... Vest, See My Vest, made from a real unemployment mess.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-19745-100x100.png\")
If I had the will or cash, I would buy them all and hand them out to the homeless.
Why yes, I am evil...why do you ask ?
Buy them and sell them on ebay!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-505357-100x100.png\")
You could maybe hack them into DIY Star Trek uniforms - the red shirts always die. :D
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-857746-100x100.png\")
I'd give them to the homeless. Everybody likes a clean, new shirt - especially those that don't have them.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-363287-100x100.png\")
1) Start car warranty telemarketing company, outfit the entire staff with these shirts, call various congress-people over-and-over-and-over.
2) ?
3) Profit.
I'd get a shirt and then go to best buy, take some photos with the blue shirt cashiers, yellow shirt managers (whatever shirt their repair people use..) use a bunch of posed photos making sure to show the BB ans CC logos. then post them to the consumerist flicker pool. Bet your pics would be used more than any others could possibly ever.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-97671-100x100.png\")
too bad they did not donate them to a shelter or something.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-434350-100x100.png\")
Wear one to Target and then watch people get really mad when you point out that you don't work at Target.
Halloween costume... fo' shooow
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-109756-100x100.png\")
I saw these at our grocery outlet here in Asheville, NC a few days ago. I thought about snapping a picture for Consumerist but didn't for some reason....
How's the quality? I'm always up for a good quality polo/t-shirt. If the material is nicely woven and fits real well, I'll buy one!
I foresee a lot of Homeless sporting new shirts.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-618935-100x100.png\")
Commentary gold, all of you. Bravo!
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-449511-100x100.png\")
I'd sell 'em as \"collectibles\" on eBay.
This looks like a job for Improv Everywhere. I would get a ton of people together, put the shirts on, and hang out in BestBuy all day.
Finally, a blog story from my home town that doesn't involve highschool teachers sleeping with students!
@ludwigk: Those stories are fantastic, but only if the teacher is hot. Hot teachers are providing a public service and shouldn't be prosecuted, only the ugly ones.
Carry on.
Could be a decent prop in a social engineering attempt. Take advantage of older folks who don't realize the company is out of business.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-624458-100x100.png\")
Offer the company who is selling them 50 cents each. They'll double their money and us, the consumers, don't have to overpay for the shirts. A dollar?! Rip-off!!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-353932-100x100.png\")
Wearing one to Target with some khaki pants could be a fun experiment.
Add zombie make-up, dirt, and a few strategic rips, and you have a halloween costume.
*Please do not forget pants or other legwear. This should be assumed, but (as past experience has shown me) some people need reminded on occasion.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-762676-100x100.png\")
I would totally buy one of those and revel in it's wearing...kind of the same way a dog will roll around in something dead. There's a glee to be had there...for some reason.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-113647-100x100.png\")
I'd buy a few and wear them into best buy.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-243649-100x100.png\")
Use them as runner-up prizes in WCIA.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-145489-100x100.png\")
It is kinda sad to see these shirts there being sold for $1. Think of all the people who lost their jobs and now the shirts are being sold for pennies...ouch!
I miss my local Grocery Outlet. You never knew when you'd find odd, cool stuff like this.
As for what to do with them? Buy up a bunch of them. Keep a couple as a souvenir from the days of shitty service past, and give the rest to a local homeless shelter.
Okay, here's the offer, 10, no 50, no 100, okay 85, well, 60 t-shirts for a big giant hug.
I figured I'd wear one every day and not have to do laundry. Summer IS coming.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-10718-100x100.png\")
The DIYer in me votes for picking 'em up and altering them into something wearable/usable. Neato patches can cover the logo, or use the rest of the material to make bags or something.
However, I think the donation idea is by far the most practical and generous. People who need shirts won't care if a nice polo has a logo on it.
I'll take eight!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-70159-100x100.png\")
I would buy like 10 just to have 10 shirts for $10, but I would wear it outside best buy or walmart get on my knees and say \"YOU BASTARDS, YOU BLEW IT UP!!!\"
Wear them when I ride my bike - I'll also be wearing my kozmo.com helmet.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-133551-100x100.png\")
At a buck apice, these shirts offer both disgruntled former customers and employees the perfect opportunity for closure:
1. Buy several shirts.
2. Visit local shooting range; purchase practice targets with the picture of a menacing criminal holding a gun.
3. Cover attacker's shirt with CC shirt.
4. Remember to follow all gun safety rules while acting out your ultimate fantasy.
5. Save your best rounds (definitely suitable for framing and far more politically correct than hanging the head of an innocent deer or moose over your fireplace).
Enjoy!
The manager of the United Grocery Outlet here in Knoxville is pretty perplexed about the calls he's been getting from far-flung places, such as New York and Alabama, from people wanting him to ship them a few shirts. In one case, a caller wanted to buy eight boxes of them. Not sure how many in a box. He says he had no idea they would be such controversial items. \"What's the big deal?\" he asked. \"They're just shirts.\"
That's a lovely shade of red. I'd cut large pieces from the non-logo parts and make some nice pillows, blankets, etc...
