No? Ok, let me explain. Grab a joint, this might take a minute.

So yesterday I decide to buy an iMac to replace my broken labtop that I dropped a few days ago. I wanted that shit that night so I go to bestbuy.com and search for the model I want. I check for in store pickup availability, and the nearest store with that model is all the way in Marina, about an hour away. System says it is in stock, and could be picked up 9/20, same day. I say fuckit, select the in store pickup option, pay my $1200 and jam over to Marina. I get there, give the chick my order number. Bitch goes to the back, comes back to the counter and says it will take up to 3 days for the item to arrive. I told her the site said it was in stock and let me pay for the item and had the pickup date for that night. I ask that if the computer department had the item in stock could they just pack my order right then and there, she says yes. I go over to the department, dude brings down the imac model I purchased, takes it to the front. Again, I have to wait for 3 days. WHY BITCH!? The website said you had it, I payed for it. I see the fucker right here besides me, plus there are at least 10 more on the shelf. They thumb their asses for a few minutes, same answer. Dude says I can pay for the one in store, then cancel my in store pickup order which was retarded. Why the fuck am I going to trust you with paying twice when you fuck up something so simple? I call the customer care number as I pace around the store, bitch on the phone says she would give me a 20 dollar credit for my troubles to use on an item when I came back to the store to pick it up. I ask why does the website check for in stock availability, when obviously it doesn't matter. I tell her to cancel my order. I then realize that the transaction is still pending on my card, so now I have to wait a few days to go buy the fucking computer because Best Buy is a fagot. So if you ever need anything, don't use the god forsaken in store pickup option. You're better off just going t the store to purchase whatever you need.

Fuck off best buy bitch.

Best Buy is cool with me. I've never had a problem with anything I've bought with them and the very few times I had to return/exchange anything. I have a Best Buy credit card and I get from $60-100 a month in gift certificates just for buying shit I'd by anyways (no Xtraplan).

That said I would never ask any of the morons that work their for their advice or help with anything they sell.

i did an in store pick up for the first time ever. no problems but it wasn't best buy. if anything i try not to make any purchases there except for small items like cd's, dvd's, cables or whatever anyhow fuck it.

i actually went to walmart for the first time for a printer. i figured not the smartest people go there for electronics and i just needed a basic all in one printer. did my research online did the pick up.

everything worked out fine.

as for best buy. there's so many dumb customers with little to any computer knowledge.

this lady was in front of me trying to play dumb when they needed her "start up disk." every time i thought she was finished fucking with them i got up cause i was next in line to get my i-pod activated.

they told me over the phone it's 35 bucks just to do that (din have my laptop @ the time)

so when she finally left the dude took my shit and hooked it up for free. i walked out wondering if he did that just for my and his frustration or if he forgot. i kinda felt like he knew but i walked out like fuck that if he forgot i'm saving 35 dollars.

cool story bruh.

bottom line i try not to fuck with best buy.

when my macbook wouldnt turn on i took it to bestbuy since i bought it there and got the geeksquad warranty. those motherfuckers didnt know what to do. they didn't even have the proper tools to open it all the way up. so they offered to ship it somewhere and get it back to me in a couple weeks. i thought wtf? you guys arent acutal computer geeks...just a buncha bums.

so instead i go to the apple store...they fixed it in one day.

im not gonna give props to the apple store either though cause it was JAM PACKED full of jabronies just taking up space, lingering around like sheep with no purpose, twidlin their dicks playing with ipads and shit...and a bunch of workers in stupid red polo shirts with fake smiles keep asking me if i've been helped. felt like i was gonna throw up in there

so fuck best buy and the apple store. macs are the shit though

ive seen a vons (which is equivalent to safeway but in so cal) that had macs and ipods and shit. just buy there...you could maybe even do self checkout

(Reuters) - Best Buy Co reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results and cut its profit outlook for the year as shoppers held off on buying televisions and other nonessential items in the anemic U.S. economy.
Tuesday's news pushed the top electronics chain's shares down more than 8 percent to their lowest level since December 2008, and highlighted the fragility of recovery in the world's largest economy.
Best Buy said that profit in the year will be as much as $3.45 a share, excluding share repurchases, down from its prior forecast of as much as $3.55 a share. It still expects revenue of $51.0 billion to $52.5 billion.
The retailer has seen sales slow in markets such as Europe and Canada as well.
"Looking at the big picture worldwide, we're still facing an uncertain macro environment with volatile consumer shopping behavior," CEO Brian Dunn said on a conference call.
Most than a quarter of Americans expect to spend less during the holidays this year, a survey showed, in an early sign that retailers will have to try harder to win shoppers this holiday season.
Best Buy is also a victim of a lackluster product cycle and cut-throat competition from chains such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Internet retailers like Amazon.com Inc.
Amazon's prices on televisions remain 12 percent to 14 percent below Best Buy's, Deutsche Bank analyst Mike Baker said recently.
"People are savvy and will comparison-shop online," Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said. "There's nothing Best Buy can do except lower its cost structure by getting out of big-format real estate and open some smaller stores."
In the quarter, Best Buy's gross margin fell again.
This "raises the question about whether price is the primary weapon to drive sales, a worrisome longer-term scenario for a company with a massive investment in infrastructure and major efforts to grow the service side of the business," Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter said.
CEO Dunn fought back. "I think the core fundamental thesis that investors are missing about us right now is that this world isn't moving to a place where it's digital all by itself or physical all by itself, neither alone will be sufficient," he said.
Best Buy shares were down $1.71 at $23.25 Tuesday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange. They touched a three-year low of $22.75 earlier in the day.
CHASING ONLINE SHOPPERS
Best Buy has now decided to offer products online from other sellers through its new third-party Marketplace as it tries to better compete with Amazon and online auctioneer eBay Inc .
On Tuesday, Dunn welcomed Amazon's agreement to start collecting sales tax in California next year.
"We see it as a march to the inevitable leveling of what has been an unfair playing field," Dunn said.
The retailer, seen as a bellwether in consumer electronics, said its second-quarter sales were essentially flat at $11.3 billion. Analysts expected about $11.5 billion.
Sales at stores open at least for 14 months fell 2.8 percent in their fifth straight quarterly decline.
The results echoed those from smaller rival hhgregg Inc as well as office supply chains Office Depot Inc and OfficeMax Inc , which reported weak sales of technology products in the key back-to-school season.
Second-quarter net profit fell to $177 million, or 47 cents a share, from $254 million, or 60 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts on average were expecting 53 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Shares of Best Buy were down $2 at $22.96 on the New York Stock Exchange.

My charger broke 4 my mac, I took it to bestbuy vuz I had the geek squad warranty, told me it would be ten to 14 days. I called 2 weeks after, mutha fuckas said they wouldn't send it. Called consumer relations, they said they would but dOnt know cuz it'd on back order. It's been a month fuck these faggots, I bought one from the apple store, once they send me the other 1 from best buy ima call and complain till I get free shit for them wasting my time.

On the other hand, I punched my old Mac and broke the screen a drunken night and took it to best buy cuz it was under warranty, got a new one at no cost, except I had to pay like 150 for the warranty again, beats paying 1500!!
