Worst experience ever. Recently went to this Braintree location to purchase a tv and wall stand. I have been a long time Best Buy customer and Best Buy credit card holder for over 15 years. While at check out the young salesman that was pretty helpful with my purchase asked me if I wanted to buy insurance protection for my tv. I told him I was all set I also declined the membership they offer. While finishing my purchase. Suddenly a manger approached him and whispered something to him. I didn’t really pay attention. When I got home I started getting notifications from Equifax letting me know they was a recent hard inquiry on my credit. After checking I found out that the salesman had tried to open up a second Best Buy card without my permission. When I went back to the store the following weekend. I asked for the manager so I could find out what had happened. And guess what it was the same man that had finished my transaction with the salesman that day. Once I asked him what was going on he got defensive and asked me to contact their customer service. I have filed a police report and will be contacting the business bureau to report them of possible fraud. My last time shopping at this store. Very shady people working at this store.
Lead IT Sales was wonderful, informative and interested in getting me the right product.
It is an electronics store with much to see, many gadgets and gizmos and bigger ticket items
Went in to Best Buy Braintree, Massachusetts roughly around 2:15 PM. I was looking at computers and seeing if anyone would help me, I saw a Caucasian woman with dark red hair What a Microsoft co-pilot shirt on that was busy on her phone and at the cashier a guy with dreads was also busy on his phone. I guess the staff at Best Buy in Braintree rather be on their phone than helping people who want to get a computer
