not my fault

While I must accept some responsibility for the Circuit City bankruptcy (returning that Zune was probably the tipping point), you can't blame me this time - I spent about $600US at Best Buy during that quarter.

Serves the bastards right

Alert

Best Buy are really the worst when it comes to customer support, after sales service, employee relations and just downright humanity. A company couldn't have a more misrepresentative name.

The chain will disappear within 5 years. BestBuy, at least judging from the ones that i've visted (western pennsylvania) have never ever operated with any sense of proper management. This will prove to be the fall of BestBuy, it's not that the economy is slowing down it's that the company never had management in it's store capable of managing the stores.

The staff of these places all seemed to be college kids just trying to move on to the next step and unfortunately you can't run a business when your employees goals are to go elsewhere. Maybe not all the BestBuys are ran like this, time will tell. If I had stock in this company i'd be dumping it:)
