I had an outstanding experience at the Best Buy in New Braunfels thanks to Galo. I came in looking for a laptop to learn coding and start building my own apps and games—something that’s really important to me. I was brand new to all of this and a little overwhelmed.
Galo was immediately approachable and took the time to actually listen. When I shared what I thought I needed (higher RAM, bigger storage, etc.), he didn’t just nod along. He explained everything clearly, corrected a few of my assumptions in a way that made total sense, and helped me understand why 16GB of RAM would be more than enough for what I’m doing. He genuinely cared about getting me the right machine without overspending.
He asked for a couple of minutes, put together several solid options, and walked me through them from lowest to highest price. He even highlighted one that wasn’t in stock that day because he could tell it matched exactly what I wanted based on everything I’d told him. He was right. The whole process felt easy and respectful.
On top of that, he was knowledgeable, patient, and just really comfortable to talk to. When we asked his name, he even shared that he’s the 4th or 5th in his family named Galo and that it comes from Galileo. Small detail, but it stuck with me because the entire interaction felt that genuine.
If you’re looking for someone who actually knows their stuff and treats you like a person instead of a sale, ask for Galo. He made what could have been a stressful purchase into a genuinely positive experience. Highly recommend.

Quick and easy Big Screen TV purchase. Found what I wanted online and associate helped me with the transaction and loading.
Good purchase and service.
me and my husband decided to go to best buy because I know that best buy does partnerships with kindle and kobo and I was thinking about purchasing a new e-reader. We went in on August 8th at around 7:20pm. Within 5 minutes of me and my husband being in the store
we had 4 employees come up to us to ask us if we needed anything. One of the employees rudely confronted my husband with a comment that shook us to the core. He said my husband looked like a thief and I didn't. He also told him do not walk out without paying for anything. With that initial statement from the employee my husband was so embarrassed that he couldn't even find the words to respond. Immediately my husband started to have an anxiety attack and felt so disrespected that he immediately wanted to leave the store without causing a scene. We are in 2026, and it's ridiculous we are facing racial profiling and discrimination due to appearance. This individual was a best buy employee.We believe that we're created equally and all deserve the same freedom as the next human being. We shouldn't be judged merely by apperance but should be considered innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
