I used to come to Best Buy all the time. Now I rarely do. Popped in to visit a couple times last week. Today was ridiculous. Like eight guys in the laptop area standing around talking. A good number elsewhere in the store wearing the blue shirts. Not many customers at all. Had to go pee. I swear to God, one literally pops open the door and says to another, "Oh, he's using the bathroom..." And then doesn't come in.
Why else would I be in there? So freaking weird.
Circuit City was weird like this before they shut down too. Go in, random employees just standing around gossiping, you would be looking at something and you could feel people watching you. Wasn't the only one to notice this either. That irks customers and makes them not want to shop.
I like people to be employed and contributing to the economy, but if it's going to be like this, I'm just going online to shop.
Been coming here for 18 years. Customer service has consistently been terrible the past 2 years. They ignore you and will walk right past you. Customer service was much better in the past. Unfortunately, they’re the only Best Buy near me.

Understaffed + very unhelpful staff once someone pays attention to a customer. It's always so pleasant to feel like an inconvenience.
