Reposting since manager Aaron who responded to my first review assumed I shopped in Canada?) but experience below was on 7/23 around 8:40-8:50pm at 3741 CHAPMAN AVE ORANGE, Ca)
I had one of the most uncomfortable and disrespectful experiences I’ve ever encountered at a retail store at Best Buy I stopped in briefly on my way to Ontario Airport (Ontario Airport is in Inland Empire in California) to purchase AirPods and a charger. While in the store, I noticed other customers using display laptops, so I quickly used one to check my flight details.
A store associate politely asked if I needed help, and I said I was okay. Then I got on the phone to confirm my flight.
Moments later, a male employee was standing behind me silently and abruptly said, “We can’t allow you to use the computer for personal information.” His presence felt intrusive and uncomfortable. Still, I responded, “ Oh okay, I’m done already, sorry, I’m just going to log out” I even cleared the browser history to protect my privacy, as he mentioned.
Another 2-4 seconds later I hear another male behind me yell and as I turn it’s a shorter male 5’2 states “I am the store manager I will not allow this!” He then slams the laptop shut while I was still touching it, yanked it away from table, and triggered the store’s security alarm by him yanking the cable off the laptop . The entire store turned to look. I was humiliated and completely caught off guard. There was no warning, no professionalism, just aggressive behavior that left me physically tense and emotionally shaken.
I reported situation to corporate & received a generic response along with contradictions.
What message does this send? That a manager can act out, cause a scene & no accountability, no transparency, and no real apology.
This entire experience from the in-store aggression to the dismissive corporate response makes it clear that Best Buy does not prioritize customer safety or dignity.
I will never shop at this location again and strongly caution others who expect basic respect and professionalism.
