Do all your shopping on line, no one will care if you disect every miniscule spec on the page that means nothing to anyone but you and is something you will never see or hear! Having worked there at one time its hard to keep up a good attitude and want to help when customers (who print every page they look at on the net and bring it in) want to stand and debate every fact or figure with you. Are you trying to show me how smart you are? Do you think I care to hear you discribe in minute detail every wire, connection, part/piece of your stereo system and how its the greatest ever made, that its got everything BB sells beat hands down and all we shelve is crap? If thats the case then why did you even walk in the door? Take your BS to your nearby Martin Logan dealer and bug the crap outta him, I'm certain he doesn't have a large volume of people in the store and would like someone as smart as you to talk to BUT, that being said you probably just think his stuff is just a load of "high priced" crap...According to you. And to the guy who decides to buy a big screen 10 minutes before close, with whom I will stay to help him get it done only to have him call his wife and kids to come down to help him make the decision and who asks me 15 times "so it come with a base...Right?" who stands there with a goofy ass grin enjoying the fact that he and his tribe are the only ones in the store with his kids running and screaming and who pays with half used gift cards and a credit card that he HASN'T EVEN ACTIVATED...Stay Home!!! Look, I did my homework, worked in audio and broadcasting for 20+ years and have forgot most of what people think they know about TV/Home audio so blow it out your tailpipe! Don't like it? Don't go there! Dear God I'm glad I got outta that... To the people who will never shop at Best Buy again I say: Don’t!

I tend to make the rounds and check out the new stuff. There was someone in every department eager to help and I was impressed by there courtesy and professionalism. I'm sure it was hard to keep the chin up knowing that 28 jobs were being sliced from that store alone. You'll have greedy fat corporate America to thank for the lack of service in best buy in the future. I was at Best Buy a few weeks ago, not for a laptop, but looked anyway.

I am surrounded with sales people from the very first time I walk through the door. I have been shopping there for years and someone always eager to help me. Great return policies.

Ending up waiting forever to get help. I had help right when I walked in but I needed sometime to browse at the laptops. Finally when I had a question or find one that I liked I couldn't get a salesperson to help me out. There were five to six of them and they were walking past me. My husband asked for help but we just had sales associates walking by. We couldn't believe. Finally, when we got someone, we already were mad that we didn't get our questions answered so we just picked out a lap top. The guy made it seem like we were getting a laptop. He offered to ring us up while he goes in the back to get it. When he came out, he told us they didn't have any in stock. What a joke. We were so upset. I don't think I'll buy my laptop there.

Always a long wait to get help in the store, on the phone and in the line to check out. They claim to be knowledgable but are not. I bougt a washer and dryer there on my credit card, they tried to deliver it but it wouldn't fit through the laundry room door so it was never delivered, but yet it took them three months and alot of agravasion to give me back my money. I've also had several computer issues with service and repair. I try to avoid that place as much as possible but I am stupid enough to go back on occasion because it's the only local electronics store in town and I hate buying off the net in case there is a problem and you have to ship the item back.

I also sent off a bunk hard drive to be serviced only to have them charge me and tell me it was bunk. without opening it or reading my instructions that i had spoken with the manufacturer and I just needed them to check for scratches and data recovery. Geek squad is different but guilty by association and paying the price for over expanding ahead of human recourses.

My experience: it's hard to get the attention of the salespeople, and when you do, you get such genius advice as (I kid you not) "All laptops really have about the same amount of battery life. Oh, buy the warranty." Never. Going. Back.

Whenever I go there, I have to wait around especially in the notebook area. Then, when I finally get someone, they have to go help someone else for a quick second, which turns out to be a little more than that.
