The "Tech" employees at big box electronics stores. They usually have no real IT skills. They just use a flash drive that diagnoses and fixes issues with computers that they service.
Took my laptop in for a tune-up. That fucking flash-drive jockey didn't do a damn thing I couldn't have done myself. And they charged me 200 bucks.
