either way, it would slow your posting.

I'm guessing that was directed at el nacho? Some how I can't imagine coming across a computer related problem I can't fix on my way.

oh im back
ok no really...i never said it was ok to charge people a lot for lack of knowledge in a certain area. But at best buy, items such as computers, actually cost the company money. We like to keep our prices lower for the customer. But in order for best buy to function as a company, they have to make money somehow, right? So they charge customers on the services, unless you buy the service plan. Services are pretty much 100% money in best buys pocket. If it werent for these, then the prices for the merchandise would be a lot higher.
But end of argument. For those of you that hate best buy, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. And for those who like to shop there, Im happy for you as well. I find it to be a good company. We'll agree to disagree 9/24/2007 4:14:25 PM |

is bullshit. When you're selling pre-built computers for over 1.5k when you can build a better machine yourself for ~800 (thats with a monitor and printer) you cannot claim that it's costing the company money. Especially when you figure in the contract money BB probably gets from selling x's computer.

i agree that it is dumb to pay that much for software install or a warranty
but it is also dumb to judge a corporation or service based on a few negative cases, such as the people stealing porn meaning that all geek squad peeps steal porn
that would be as sweeping a generalization as getting mugged by a black guy then assuming that all black people are muggers 9/24/2007 11:07:22 PM |

I could write a full essay about why Best Buy is horrible to shop at and work for. It seems like most of it was covered on the first 4 pages though.
The discount is the only good perk of working there, they are such jews about how you use it that that is even gay. I finally found a job that paid way more and just started buying my electronics online. 9/24/2007 11:13:28 PM |

You are right. Fortunately for us there are hundreds of thousands of negative testimonials against Best Buy to fall back on9/25/2007 3:42:37 AM |
moron All American 34137 Posts user info edit post |
I somehow doubt hundreds of thousands.
And I think you underestimate just how much the typical person loves Best Buy. You must realize that most people know diddly squat and even someone who knows next to nothing still (typical best Buy associate) knows WAY more than the average person. Because of this, the average person LOVES the "help" they get at Best Buy.
You're right that a tech geek that goes in to Best Buy is going to get annoyed, but this is the cost of catering to the masses. It's impossible for a single store to be able to help both tech nerds and the average person.
If you've had people "force" the service plan on you, then you should definitely write the manager of the store. Best Buy has a feedback site if you buy stuff, at bestbuycares.com that's printed on the bottom of your receipt (you need a receipt to access it though). 9/25/2007 4:14:01 AM |

I've worked there. They do in fact take a loss on PCs (then make up for it on accessories and services).
What, were you under the impression that HP doesn't make a huge profit off of BB? We can make PCs cheaper because we're not paying HP to make them for us.9/25/2007 9:05:33 AM |

i "admit" it, i bought my laptop at bestbuy.
had it been a desktop, i would have definitely built it myself... but since i have very little laptop hardware experience (besides wireless networking haha), i though i got myself a pretty good deal [at first]
BUT, i did end up going to 3 different stores and still not getting the one I wanted, even though 2 of those 3 stores told me on the phone that they had the model i wanted IN THEIR HAND.
also, here in the greensboro area, best buys are not a dime a dozen. my "neighborhood" bestbuy is 20 minutes away, then theres one in winston salem, and one in burlington. it ended up being a pain in the ass and i should have gone somewhere else, but it became a matter of principle (and telling management on the kids who lied to me just to get me off the phone)
im sure there are tons of stories similar to mine, where no one really got ripped off or anything, just lied to and had their time wasted. but time is money bitches 9/25/2007 9:19:06 AM |

BB is not allowed to hold any product for a customer. So, if they told you they had one in hand, they may have but sold it before you went up there. 9/25/2007 11:46:13 AM |

hmmm, i wonder if my company is bigger than best buy? i know i fix computers at work, well, sometimes I do. We only did 47.1 billion euros in sales last year...... and i know service contracts mean i go fix stuff nobody else can. fix a plc rack in the am, a relay control job after lunch, and a modern micro control job before clocking out.
