Piling On the Victim

As I wrote before "Blame the victims," I saw Best Buy's Ad for Geek Squad and saw things like:

$227 advanced on site security setup
$159 on site network setup
$118 at Best Buy advanced security setup
$89 at Best Buy computer data backup

I realize that Best Buy is taking advantage of those who need handholding but why? I guess it's job security for the geeks with social skills since programmers can get their acts right (the geeks without the social skills?).
