The staff here have always been great, but thanks to "modernization", I can no longer call the store for an issue that must be addressed locally by staff at the store. The AI bot told me they can't connect me to the store directly. I might just stop going to BestBuy and cancel my Total Membership if I can't even get support via local customer service. For an hour long drive it may be a waste unless I can confirm with local staff they're able to resolve an issue I'm having. Sad to see things go this way.

Victor from verizon here is amazing. great guy and made the process smooth to getting a new phone. very knowledgeable.
Went to Best Buy with phone issues. Geek Squad was so helpful on getting my phone working again
Super annoying there walked in the door mid conversation with my girlfriend, guy watching the door asks if we need help finding anything...no... We made it 10 steps inside and another interrupted us.... Then 2 more . Made it back to the tv sets and another asked us, by this time I was upset . I said you are the 5 th since the door to ask is that . There should be some sort of wrist band I can put on to say....leave us alone .
Well not sure why but two associates now were watching us from afar . One actually was listening to us and came over to explain the OLED.... Not sure if management has just brainwashed everyone there or it's a shoplifting thing.
We HAD a local store that did that and people talked how horrible it was....they closed.
If I ever want the best buy experience I will just have my girlfriend look over my shoulder and bother me with questions as I shop on Amazon.
I am enlightened though. I now know what every minority teen feels like when they shop at the mall.
