I came into Best Buy today to buy a specific product. On the way to that department I wandered past the Dyson display to see if there was anything else I couldn't live without. The vacuums there were clearly worn and used, not dead display units, and they weren't strapped or bolted down. From everything a customer can see, they looked like any other demo in the store, so I picked one up. An employee came over and told me I wasn't allowed to touch it.
That cost Best Buy a potential $400 impulse purchase and the purchase I came in for. If I can't touch the product, I'll just order it on Amazon. No need to waste my time at Best Buy anymore.

This is worst Best Buy I’ve ever been to. The associates act like they’re not getting paid to help people. They’re standing and not doing anything. I traveled 30 minutes for 1 item and walked out with nothing. Horrible customer service.
