I recently bought a iPhone 16 Pro Max from Best Buy for about $800. The day I received it and set it up, it fell off my lap while sitting in a chair. About a 2’ Drop. It cracked the screen so I took it to Best Buy Geek squad and was told they would not fix it unless I paid them another $350. I have been Buying from Best Buy for over 20 years. Not anymore. I guess you made your point, but lost a long time customer

Came in today to make purchase and was pleased with the experience. Mathias was very knowledgeable and honest. He had great customer service and made sure I had everything I needed!
I had an uncomfortable and disappointing experience at the Best Buy in Hiram.
When I entered the store, I was warmly welcomed by one employee, and I appreciated that. Later, while I was looking at phones, an employee named Timothy spoke to me. I had already greeted him politely, but the way he responded to me included what I perceived as an exaggerated Indian accent.
I found this offensive because I felt that he was assuming my nationality or background based on my appearance and then speaking to me in a stereotypical accent and there was no communication issue that would have required or justified speaking to me that way.
I spoke directly with the store manager about what happened and explained that I felt Timothy had treated me in a racist/disrespectful manner. I also explained that I believed he had assumed I was from India. The manager told me that he would “keep it in mind.”
I want to be clear that I am describing what I personally experienced and how it came across to me. I cannot know exactly what was in the employee’s mind, but the interaction made me feel uncomfortable and disrespected.
I hope Best Buy takes customer concerns about race, ethnicity, and nationality seriously and addresses this appropriately.
