abstract
| - Thomas Jefferson "Jeffrey" Barnes is a main character and a Nerd Herder, specializing in Apple products. An alcoholic in his forties, he was champion of Missile Command in 1983 and is significantly older than his coworkers, aside from John Casey and manager Big Mike. He is portrayed by Scott Krinsky. He has a ferret named Roscoe as a pet. It has also been revealed that he only has eight toes and does not pay for toilet paper. He is also deaf in his left ear. His father is evidently part Native-American, allowing Jeff to satisfy a quota at the Buy More. His mother is in prison (prisoner 27318), and his sister works (at least part time) as an exotic dancer and performed at Devon Woodcomb's bachelor party. Jeff can be seen as Buy More employee of the month in the Season Three episode "Chuck Versus the Three Words", despite his previous actions and attitude. When, in the final season, he stops sleeping in his van, he recovers rapidly from his decades of self-poisoning and show remarkable intelligence and insight, although with lapses.
