The reason I use double quotes is because there is nothing geeky about what they do. They deceive people in the name of computer health checks, mostly old people and less tech savvy folks. There are dozens of stories of these “Geeks” that steal personal information from customers’ computers.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make?

Want a dozen + 1?
As a friend, I setup a precision workstation for a small business owner. Part of this setup was a hardware raid 1 array. (He wanted a fast machine that was very reliable. His money, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
He took it to the Geek Squad to have a printer setup on it. These idiots destroyed the raid array while doing idk what complimentary scan or wtf ever. The friend had also stopped using the dropbox drive and used the regular user's folders to save stuff.
This did not end well. It was judged to be my fault for using poor quality hardware and software. He bought a gaming desktop from Best Buy. I learned a lesson.
n.b. I worked for them as a part-timer (aka 'Rookie Agent') from 98-00 while I was in high school before the company was acquired by Best Buy. I stopped working there when the founder decided to unexpectedly let go of all of the part timers for whatever reason.
