Must Revise My Thoughts On Best Buy

[hech54]

I've been back to the states for the first time in 7 years....Best Buy SUCKS.

They've been doing that for some time.

Before I left....BB had HIGH shelves(with overstock above) packed with a very nice variety of products, double faced MAX.....now they have 2 foot shelving with little selection with 4 facings of that tiny selection. What a complete waste.

They seem to have moved to sale of high end items for maximum profit. It's like dealing with used car salesmen.

..used car salesmen?? You mean saleskids?

Best Buy is where I like to ask kids dumbass questions and then see how they answer. I'm rarely disappointed. I rather enjoy asking them to compare two products. While it's clear they have NO IDEA about either product, they still force themselves to make up incredibly stupid answers.

I only do that when they approach me to "help" me shop for what I need (why I went).

My favorite Best Buy story is when i asked the clerk if they had any VHS decks with s-video and he replied with a quizzical look "S-video?"

I used to work at RadioShack. One day, a customer asked me a queston about an item. I replied "I don't know. Let's go see." He replied that he appreciated the honest answer. Later on in the sales game, I found this to be valuable feedback. Like Judge Judy, people can smell a phony a mile away.
