I was applying at Best buy, but failed their 1/2 hr long test. Then as I was browsing I realized that no one could help me, or even understood what I was looking for.
What is more important, polite but ignorant, or more blunt, but very knowlegdable.

Hate to say it because polite is so much better than rude, but maybe the blunt-but-knowledgeable is best (as long as "blunt" doesn't mean "rude", I guess). Maybe if its a matter of rude versus polite then the polite would be better even if customers are left on their own to figure things out.
Blunt can be ok. Rude never is.

All issues seen, the asker. In some boards, only the asker can evaluate who provided the main effective answer. In others, although, like the political communicate board, the asker is barely searching for reinforcement of their very own political view; form of like the objective audience of Fox information .... sorry .... had to assert it. on the same time as leaving it the the votes may well be democratic, organic democracy not often gets you the suitable result; that's why usa chosen a democratic republic the place we decide (probably smart) representatives to jot down regulations quite than exposing each proposed bill to a vote of the individuals at great. In prepare, i assume neither way works all that nicely as our present Congress retains proving.

I think they like their people to be more polite. It doesn't matter how knowledgeable you are, if you are blunt or rude to the customers... that loses them business. Being polite and trying to help even if you don't know the answer is much better in their eyes.

Well since you didn't get the job based on your lack of knowledge, I would say knowledge is more important- at least at Best Buy. In real life, you need a balance of both to succeed.
PS- A lot of the people that work at BB are arrogant pricks. They probably knew what you needed, but just didn't care.

When I go for something small, I find the sales people pushy and not helpful. But when I had a computer problem with my old computer, the geek guys were really great and helped all they could. And when I had some camera trouble, the fellow helped me and didn't charge me anything because, after 20 minutes of trying, he could not help me.
so I think their computer guys are great and regular staff is not so great.

Fire both of them and hire a polite knowledgeable one.

I personally don't see why we can't expect politeness AND knowlege.
