In my experience, big box stores offering employee incentives for moving specific items into your hands.

Usually they'll try little sales tricks like "I don't know when the one you want will be back in stock, if ever. But we have this one today and I brought it out to show you. Great deal."

Second this, although I have only observed very casually, never bought one first hand.

My impression is that the standard box store offering is some windows-s-mode steaming pile of crap loaded up with every conceivable form of bloatware, spyware, and adware out of the box, and anyone not formatting it immediately has basically just brought an obnoxious billboard into their home that can only run things from the "windows store"
