Service at Best Buy in general went downhill after covid, but this store in Mueller Austin is the worst. I have bought a number of things there in the past 6 months and never had anyone offer help. But, ok, I knew what I wanted. Last was the worst though. I bought a new Apple Watch. I knew exactly what I wanted and knew I could set it up myself AND they had a good sale. But, was on my way out the door because could not find a human to ask to go get it for me. As I was walking out, the Apple person intercepted me and I did buy the watch. And, as I knew, no service at all other than to take my money. Next purchase will probably go to Target.

I stopped here to impulse buy the new Sony headphones (XM6) that are on sale. I wanted a chance to use my Rewards and I have been looking forward to these headphones since they were announced. I was kind of surprised when I arrived at Best Buy Mueller to see that these $300 headphones were not locked up. 🤷🏻♀️ I grabbed the white pair and went to look around for a Sonos Era and possibly find a dash cam.
Well I was followed by a security guard and at least 2 employees as I was looking around for other things to buy. I get it, maybe I look suspicious, tattoos, I look like a scumbag on my day off, I have been cleaning all day but LOCK UP THE HEADPHONES! Have someone hold them at the register, or any other solution other than making me feel like a POS while I am shopping. I will just do delivery from now on like the rest of the world.
Edit to add: cashier was really nice though.

Excellent service.
Each time I go they fix my cell phone, my computers.
I highly recommend Geek Squad.
Absolutely terrible customer service. I asked for assistance getting an item down from the top shelf, an employee told me she would send someone and it would be 5 minutes. I waited well over 20 minutes and no one... I just moved the step ladder and got it myself at that point. Ridiculous.
