Why not? You like burning gas and paying sales tax? Only to drive to a store to find out they don't have what you want? Ordering online FTW. This is exactly why Best Buy is going down. People go there to shop and play with different gadgets, then order online for cheaper.

Yep, got my fridge, few AV amps, tons of movies, games, music, ipods etc... Best Buy is a fun toy store to shop in.

What really pisses me off is fucken mp3s, and their idea that no one wants cd's anymore... so they turn 1/6th of the store with all their selections into like 2 short racks of cd's, which are all mainly new shit from the last week to come out.

Does anyone know of a good fucken cd shop left? There's one in Carrollton off Trinity Mills and Midway, but Id not consider it really great... that place still only had half of what I was looking for.

Yeah that shit pisses me off too about the CD's. I don't have an iPod or any of that MP3 crap, I want to buy a CD, go out to my car in the parking lot, unwrap it, and pop it into the cd player while I read the case!

I don't know what business model these companies are using but "balance" does not seem to be a word that most know. The big corporations just want to keep expanding and expanding instead of maintaining the business that they already have. I used to love best buy, now I'm afraid of buying things from there because I might have to deal with their customer service department.

What a bunch of whiners. You walk in to their store, then get pissed when someone asks if you need help? Put yourself in their shoes. They get reprimanded for ignorning customers. They each have their own things they are doing, be it restocking, etc. It's not their jobs to keep track of the other CSRs, and if someone has already talked to you. The primary function of their job is to ask if you need help. If it bothers you that much, shop online. Take a xanax and shut the fuck up.

I have never worked for best buy but like most retail businesses, they are trained to greet the customer to reduce theft and make sure the customer's needs are met. The way most customers are, they are annoyed right up until they need assistance and then they are pissed that no one is right there beside them. Can't win IMO.

Both of these statements say it well, one a little nicer than the other. the employees in these stores are only doing a job, one they may not even like. They are trained to ask everyone they see, or risk losing their job. I simply say no thank you or just looking. I like the customer service when I'm looking for somthing I know little about, and actually need the help. It's hit or miss as to whether or not I get a knowledgeable one or not, but at least its SOME help.

I use to work at conn's lol, they have a 7 step strategie to complete a sale. Step 1 is to greet the customer, steps 2-7 is to bug the shit out of them.

[Rreemo]

Oh yes...sweet justice!!! I predicted this shit was coming for those assholes just like AA. You can only get by for so long fucking over every customer possible.

Good riddance

because some pencil pushing CEO's always think. whatever sounds good in theory must work!!! when in reality it's hurting the company,

most ceo's and VP's
are out of touch with the 'real world' they don't listen to management at the store level.
just because something worked back in the 70's OR 80's when he/she was working at a store, don't mean it's going to work in todays marke!

Yeah man! Stick it to the man! We are the 99%!

Best Buy can suck a dick. So glad they are tanking. Forty dollars for a USB cable? No thanks.

My roommate in college was on Geek Squad. Didn't know the first thing about computers.

douche bag alert. everything you just typed is retarded. try again next year.

paid $9.99 for the last USB cable I bought at best buy TWO years ago. You must have no idea what the difference between a USB cable and HDMI cable is.

Do they seriously think that having a gigantic store every 7 miles in every direction is a sustainable business model? If you drive from Lewisville to Mckinney, you will pass 5 Best Buy stores including the one on 75 just south of 121. Seems a little ridiculous to me.

Look at it this way: At least they aren't Fry's. I've never seen a bigger collection of the barely employable in my life. At least Best Buy makes them bathe.
