Emmett

Emmett's History

Emmett Milbarge was initially described as an efficiency expert, sent by Buy More corporate headquarters to evaluate the staff and procedures of the Burbank branch. Big Mike, who prefers to minimize his own workload and who dreads interviewing his own employees for promotions, kept Emmett on and made him assistant manager, a position which the Buy More employees tend to shorten to "ass man". Emmett is thoroughly disliked by the Buy Morons though makes a small connection with Morgan Grimes over visualizing the Buy More as a country called Buy-Moria.

Emmett is promoted to the position of store manager of the Burbank Buy More after tricking Morgan and the other Buy More employees into making him look good, and simultaneously making Big Mike look bad during a corporate review. His regime is shown as totalitarian, when Chuck returns to the store to make a purchase six months after resigning, the staff pop up like meerkats in hopes that their salvation is at hand. Later, a Ring assassin, Javier Cruz, comes looking for Chuck at the Buy More after hours. Emmett confronts the man. Emmett tells him that Chuck no longer works there, and orders him to leave the property.

When Cruz hesitates, Emmett threatens to mace him if he does not comply. As Cruz turns to leave, Emmett foolishly refers to the assassin as a "pussy", prompting Cruz to pull out his pistol and shoot Emmett through the eye, killing him instantly.

His body is later spotted by Casey doing a security sweep of the Buy More. After Chuck and Casey have resumed their cover jobs at the Buy More, Casey tells Chuck that it is rumored that Emmett took a job at Large Mart in Anchorage, Alaska, which is what Chuck believes happened.
