You know your customer service is bad when an AI agent is friendlier than your Best Buy manager, Thylia. I suggest a front shift change because… wow. 0/10 for greeting and helping customers.
I’ve been a frequent customer to this Best Buy since moving here, and EACH time everyone has ALWAYS been friendly - even Geek Squad.
I kid you not, I was in there for less than 5 minutes, and i left feeling unhelped, rushed out and frustrated. She offered no alternatives (I literally had to ask for a customer service line), she was abrupt and her tone was rude. When she ‘explained’ there was nothing she could do, I calmly asked for the manager and she goes, “I AM the manager.😑” and when I asked for who else I can contact above her (atp I would gladly talk to anyone else), she said there is nobody else above her. No other alternatives or guidance. End sentence.
Really?
All that to say, I didn’t escalate anything, I just left to write this review and warn other Best Buy customers to avoid this manager if you want a good experience. Safe to say, I’m staying away from this BB for a moment.. and when/if I do come back, requesting to speak to any other manager BUT her.

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to share your recent experience with us. We can understand going to a store looking for a solution, but being told there was nothing that could be done and that there wasn't anyone else you could speak with, wouldn't be welcome. We'd be happy to review this with you further.
Please send a private message on one of our social media platforms, Facebook (https://bby.me/UefjiX), Twitter/X (https://bby.me/k4uHSz), or Instagram (https://bby.me/dj43dE), and refer to your "Google review #201867".
Parking is a disaster and the day I stopped I was looking for something specific that the front worker told me you didn’t have but it turned out you did.

I have been dealing with AI or people from their corporate team (read overseas agents). Purchased a TV online a week ago, was told unit was in stock. Delivery was set for tomorrow. Now, tv not delivered to their so I have to wait another week for delivery. Tried calling the store directly, AI routes you overseas. I can't contact the store directly via phone. They took my money immediately, but now I can't speak to someone at the store no matter how I try. Who knows, maybe a manager will see this post and reach out....
