I had a terrible experience at Best Buy. One of their employees misled me during a purchase and scammed me out of a significant amount of money. He never explained the full policy or charges clearly, and now I’m left paying for something I did not agree to or understand.
I reported the issue to Best Buy’s customer service, but after weeks of waiting, they told me they couldn’t do anything because “too much time had passed” and they couldn’t access the store’s camera footage. I’ve been left with zero support, no resolution, and no accountability from the company.
I am the victim here, and yet I’m the one paying the price. This is unacceptable and disappointing from a company as large as Best Buy.
Always helpful staff in this building
THE WORST customer care and racist staffing I've ever dealt with in my life. I walked into the store and walk towards the rear where the Laptop/PC/Tablet area was.
I inquired about a MAG3 Charger that's specific to my Apple Laptop that I brought with me to make sure it was identifiable by the staff.
I asked could the cord be taken out for a quick power up of my dead laptop because it was dead and I needed to charge the computer.
I was denied on multiple accounts even though I was about to purchase this $50.00 cord!! There was also a Geek Squad employee who was just as biased and prejudice as the first rep.
I asked to speak to the manager about the situation and all of the reps seemed to not know who he was and LIED repeatedly about who the manager was.
I finally had assistance from my grandfather who gave me his last $60.00 in cash to purchase the cord. I asked the checkout rep immediately after the purchase can she open the cord to see if it was a fit to my port and IT WASN'T!!
Wasted 35 mins in this store going back and forth with combative racists representatives to not have the correct equipment. It's no reason Best Buy stores are closing at alarming rates.
Take your money elsewhere instead of this establishment. You were warned!
