Bestbuy dying?

Can't cope the Christmas sales?

I have all the morning receiving a lot of errors browsing Bestbuy "pages not available" "404" and so on.
Everything else is fast on internet right now.

>Bestbuy dying?

I have a long list of problems for Bestbuy, but most are not related to their website. It is performing as well as normal for me (not great, but adequate).

However, should you choose to actually physically go to a store.......well that is a whole different story! :(

I always buy a new PC and associated toys at this time of year. I want to write off as much tax as possible, so I endulge in spending on the best tech-toys available.

Now can someone explain why I find it so hard to get someone to take my money at BestBuy? This week my money went to CompUSA, they provided staff who wanted to serve and benefit!

Yell "I Wanna Maintenance Contract!" and you'll be instantly surrounded by salespeople.

I always see all these blue-clad people goofing off, what is their job description?

[smells so good]

Manager trainees.

Managers get to goof off in an office. That's why you don't see them.

ahhh the 'no pressure, no commission' approach quickly deteriorates to an 'I have no reason to help you' attitude in the blink of an eye doesn't it?

love it when they intentionally avoid eye contact and just walk away when they see someone who obviously needs help.

Wow, I find the Best Buys in Canada to be great. Always people around wanting to help.

Their web site did have some issues a couple weeks ago, but it was fixed the next day.

There was a Bestbuysucks.com site a few years ago that had all the poop on the company

I shop at Best Buy frequently, never have I had a customer service issue. Hope it stays that way.
