I've had some good thoughts about Best Buy in recent years. I even forgave them for killing Circuit City. OK, that's a stretch. My tale goes that I have used the car audio bay for some small work. Basically, they did what I didn't understand. Good folks over there at store 749. Or was it 441? I had way less luck at some other stores in the area.
Count this review as a double play aimed at two other BB locations. Due to difficulties at my favorite location, I called around to get the work done. One install bay flat refused to take the job for less than $50 plus supplies; another location, got two visits from me thanks to a sign that said they were closed on Tuesdays, but weren't. On my second trip, the doors are down so they are sitting in the bay doing absolutely nothing. Hey District Managers, make them mop the floors or something! I explained what I needed, and they wanted $79 plus supplies. The third store was booked solid and couldn't fit me in. But at least they were honest and willing to take the small job.
That makes two locations were willing to do what I needed for some quick money. I ended up back at my favorite store this morning, and while my tiny amount of work was being done I scouted prices for Christmas gifts and made a few purchases. I not going to say that I spent thousands of dollars just to rub it in like some folks would; that's not me. I bought a DVD, and did some research for my mom on e-readers. You have to admit that every dollar counts in this economy, and I gladly spent my paycheck where I've done for many years at this my favorite location. 1229?
The other two locations have the lowest customer count I've ever seen when compared to the favorite; wouldn't they take every dollar they could earn instead of refusing to take a paying job? Chillin' in your install bay playing Angry Birds? What are you install guys union? No stars if I've ever called such a thing. Rock bottom customer service.
