I walked into Best Buy today with a laptop with a broken screen, looking for a replacement screen. I did not know Best Buy’s Geek Squad didn’t offer this service, so when I went up to the associate Gavin and asked what I should do he spent 5 minutes raving about how Best Buy has a repair program that I could pay for to get the computer fixed. However, he told me that was expensive and should simply call the company and have my computer shipped out. When I told him I would rather have Best Buy fix it, even with the cost, he told me that Best Buy actually doesn’t do that. After that, he told me that my computer was made for “old people who don’t know how to work computers so I should just watch a YouTube video to fix it.” When my problem wasn’t one I could simply fix at all, and I would need a replacement screen. Overall, he was rude and unhelpful and I will definitely not use the Geek Squad at this location again.
I have zero desire to even try anymore.
I show up to buy something that I found online, only to be ignored for 20 minutes before walking out. There isn’t any reason to visit Best Buy, when I can go to Walmart or Target and get the same level of customer service.
I’ve had multiple experiences like this. I’ve left to purchase OLED TVs at alternative stores for the same reason.

It helps when you walk in knowing what you want. The dude that assisted me was quick and got me in and out. Sorry I dont recall his name.
