Maybe I should go to Best Buy. Everything I know about Best Buy I learned from the TV show Chuck. OK, actually that is the Buy More but what I have heard is that it is a mirror image of the Best Buy. I have a Fry's Electronics which is closer to me then Best Buy and that has always been my

I have the ff 2 comments about our local Best Buy in Hadley, MA (a) They are very well stocked with a wide variety of items, and (b) I refuse to shop at a store such as the Best Buy in Hadley,MA that insists on searching one's possessions when one leaves the store. I do 95% of this sort of my

After losing my wife, best friend and traveling partner earlier in the year I've been looking to something to occupy my time.  (Ham radio isn't getting it done)  I decided to rekindle an old interest in photography. So I did a lot of online comparisons of DSLRs and narrowed the choice to a

You should call or email the manager of the store and tell him/her this. With unemployment as high as it is it should not be difficult to find replacements. And the manager should be sure to tell the replacements why they got the job. Jim - W4BQP On 7/8/2011 11:54 AM, Wes Stewart wrote:

John, I used to refuse to shop at any Best Buy because of the search before you leave policy, but now I just give the employee a really mean stare and politely say, NO, thank you.. That works everywhere here where I live. Glad you're not one of the sheep... 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE

Too true, Wes. My local Best Buy is a new store, and the place looks like a store on the way out - most items only one or two, many out of stock, grumpy staff, etc. To read their return policy, you have to hunker down at the service desk and read a fine-print placard posted at waist height.

I just became a lifetime customer of Best Buy -- at least the one in San Carlos, CA. They didn't have a power adapter I needed in stock, so they pulled one off a demo unit and sold it to me, even though they needed it to power the demo unit. That's service. Wayne N6KR
