Could BestBuy be the next business casaulty?

[doctor09210]

At the Best Buy here I never get good customer service and it takes forever to get customer assistance. When I do its usually some clueless kid who is probably working for minimum wage.

Exactly

I would love to see smaller shops open once again. I know it's not very likely, but if the big guys are failing someone has to step up.

I'm sorry to say...but the smaller shops...especially electronics shops...even bigger crooks...lol.

Salesman:"Why hassle walking to Rickeys when you can buy one at Best Buy!"
Salesman:"don't worry spending 20 bucks for a decent one, come over to Best buy and get the worst one you'll ever use for 59.99"

I'm OK with buying at Best Buy...I just don't dig their incessant service plan pushing on customers...but I have mastered the art of saying no...so it's all fine by me.

An extremely popular electronic store chain in California is Fry's Electronics.

Fry's is known not only for their huge stores...but also its funky and trippy themes...sci-fi. monsters, Aztec & Maya pyramids, ancient Rome, California God Rush, Wild West, etc...






























It's all fine and dandy...but the reason I don't go there often...is that Fry's has a shady history...if you care to read...here it is...

that place is a little shady, lol. I tell you what though, i would like to be THERE if they had a store closing just to get their props

Best Buy should drop its home appliances stuff...fridges. stoves, microwaves, washers and dryers, etc...leave those to Home Depot, Lowe's, and Sears....and just stick to fun electronics.

I mean...have you ever met anyone who has bought a fridge at Best Buy???

yes, my bro in law he got that LG $3500 that came out like 4 years ago

[toys2cool]

this sucks, both my cousins work there...I just came from there, and the DVD isles have shrunk big time and the place was dead

I hate the way they have their DVD's set up too. But I believe the move to Blu-ray is more a reaction to the industry than anything. Blu ray is becoming THE preferred means of viewing. So stores, like BestBuy, who are accustom to carrying huge volumes are probably having to scale down to avoid getting caught with a huge overstock of movies in an undesirable format.

We own an apartment building and Best Buy is almost always the cheapest place for appliances. Comparing apples to apples, they beat out the big-box, home-improvement stores,...at least in my neck of the woods. ABC Warehouse is sometimes a little better price-wise, but Best Buy will match their flyer price.
