A little while ago I wanted to buy a big tv. I wanted to look at them in person so I went to best buy. There were half a dozen employees standing around the area talking. Eventually I got the attention of one, the conversation went something like this:
Employee: You need something?
Me: I was thinking about buying a huge tv
Employee: ok [Stares blankly]
Me: So uh...
Employee: [Stands in silence]
I tried several dialog options and was unable to advance through the tree. I went home and ordered the same TV online. I still have no idea how you buy something at best buy.
It's the exact same vibe as 25 years ago when I went into radio shack and they harassed me for my phone number at checkout. Best Buy is going out of business. I don't know when, but it is.
The last time I bought something from Best Buy it was an in-store pickup. It said that I should expect the order to be ready in an hour and after waiting several hours I just decided to go into the store. I immediately noticed that there were only like three people working the entire store (including the cashier) on a Saturday afternoon. An lo and behold the product that I wanted was still sitting on the shelf un-picked. So I grabbed it myself and walked out with it.
