Great store with helpful staff
Why am I paying for a 200 dollar membership when I get charged a 9 dollar fee? I had to track down an employee to get help.
0/10 ill probably celebrate when best buy finally goes under.
I visited a store to exchange my watch under my insurance policy, but at the checkout, I was instructed to consult the Geek Squad. After a long wait, I was informed that a manager needed to override the transaction. When the manager arrived, they and the Geek Squad employee stated that the watch needed to be sent in and that I would have to rejoin the queue to complete the process. Due to the significant time I had already spent waiting, I was unable to proceed.
Later that day, I visited a different Best Buy location where I was able to complete the exact same transaction immediately without any unnecessary complications.
I felt unfairly treated, as the process should have been as straightforward at the first store as it was at the second. Had I received consistent information at both locations, I would have been more understanding of the wait, but the discrepancy in service between the two stores was quite frustrating.

They told me they had the item. when I called their idiot Ai assistant was wrong when I got there, they did not have the item. Best buy will not let you talk with an actual person on site, which is insane
