Purchased an open box laptop from the American dream location. Needed to return it because guess what, I bought the wrong thing and American dream was quite a drive. I dealt with the most unhelpful Hispanic male who just made things up as he went and then quietly went on his walkie when he went to “look” for what I wanted. He sent a manager over to deny the return while they made up all kinds of excuses. He said their system flagged the return, but after I left the store, I called customer care and they said their system does no such thing. AI get there’s a bit of a return history, but the people in their stores are not always 100% accurate in their information. I had a paper receipt and I was ready to go, but instead he wanted to look at the history and determine if I was worthy enough to buy the MacBook that I wanted. He told me that they didn’t have any in stock while I saw other customers walk out with it. You can count. I will be reaching out to their corporate office in Minnesota about this lousy experience. Best buy was nearly sued for this type of behavior at returns, and apparently this store didn’t get the memo.
** UPDATE ** Completed the return at American Dream with the assistance of Coporate Customer Care. The team at American Dream was wonderful and the people I spoke with in Minnesota were really great. They took ownership of the situation and told me it was a rogue manager that they would deal with. The rep in the store was less than truthful and that is okay with me. That type of service is par for the course now. All customer service with the exception of some places is a frustrating now, it is what it is. I did not buy another laptop from Best Buy and went directly to the manufacturer for the new one.
