8 minutes before I could even ask a question on the phone. Ridiculous

I have been a Best Buy Total Plus member for years, but am very close to shopping elsewhere. Best Buy does NOT allow calls directly to their store, even though a local number is listed (Christiansburg, VA), rather, all calls are routed, today it was in Panama! And, I was told today, the only way to speak with someone at the Christiansburg store is to drive out and do that in person! My recent install (oven, dishwasher, and microwave) left a leak under my sink and a microwave door incorrectly installed. Additionally, the Geek Squad did not install; rather, a third party was hired, and only one spoke English, and the guy who could struggled. They took our old appliances while I was on the phone with customer service and drove away without saying goodbye or even having me sign the paperwork! When I texted their boss, he denied it and dared me to take him to court with our security footage proving it! Now, Best Buy, even though we have a case number, is not returning our calls, and Panama employees can't help us since the local manager, Jack, said he would handle it!

Evan with Geek Squad was great! He helped me understand what was going on with my laptop instead of only fixing it. Definitely worth checking out if you need help.
