Best Buy Fail (again)

Mr Nixon, Mr. Cleese would like a quiet word if you would be so kind.

This part of the article hit the nail on the head:
--- Quote ---... and that Amazon customers use Best Buy as their showroom, taking advantage of the extensive, well-stocked locations ...
--- End quote ---
This is the ONLY reason I've ever stepped into a Best Buy. When I need to see a product in person, I go down and take a look. Then I go home and order it online for 20-40% less. ;)
Best Buy is a horrible store because as the article says, the store is too busy pushing their services and tie-ins to actually train their employees about the products they sell and to arrage their store to the consumers needs.
So yeah, I would hate to see it go, but only because it is a good place to demo products. ;)

Great article and 100% on the money. Shortly after moving into our new home, my wife sent me out to Best Buy to get a new TV that was on sale. Of course, it wasn't available and although I did purchase one (she wanted it that day), I had to make my way through one sales person after another trying to push everything from special cables to support plans. Haven't been back since. The next TV was purchased from Newegg and it was delivered to the door, hassle free, tax free, and with free shipping.

I'd hate for them to go out of business. They periodically come in handy. Hopefully they'll get their ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- together before it's too late. My most recent experience with Best Buy was very positive. I stayed with friends while visiting Miami earlier this month. My friends love trivia games but have never heard of You Don't Know Jack. So I wanted to pick it up for their PS3 as a thank you gift, but every Gamestop I called didn't have it in Stock. Luckily Best Buy is a better videogame store than the videogame store.

I haven't gone in a Best Buy for months. Anyone else feel like telling them to shove it when they ask for your receipt when you try to leave?
