Best Buy ain't been the same to me since they cut the Blu Ray section.

People can also get educated and work better jobs and work multiple jobs.

I do agree minimum wage needs to be raised but damn. Is there any accountability on the actual people?

Ever since The Wiz went out of business its been Fukk everybody else for me...


I literally use to go to best buy just to tell them I bought the same item online for cheaper....

I feel you but EVERYONE wins when the economy is balanced and people make fair wages adjusted to their cost of living. America in the past understood this, its how we built the middle class and the largest economy in the world. But ever since Reagan began the deregulation of business shyt has gotten out of control. Ceo's now make 1000X more than the lowest waged employee. Business outlooks shifted from fair market to increasing shareholder value and profit over everything. Income inequality has risen to something unfathomable 30 years ago and still the rich are just not rich enough. Its the reason why the average 1 bedroom rent is 1300 and minimum wage is 7.25. These ppl dont give a fukk and want to squeeze every penny from you while the top dawgs get rewarded by bonuses.

This country is headed for dark times because this is not sustainable.

This is exactly how it needs to be at the moment because it’s time for this country to crater.

You all thought your vote would fix this..no, your vote doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you pay your taxes and contribute to maintaining some semblance of a society. Red and blue are nothing but colors, you will be worked to death as collateral regardless and you will do nothing about it because you’re conditioned to be weak in the face of the beast.

If people had any idea, and some of you do, of how evil and wretched some of these corporatists and politicians are then y’all would say fukk these voting booths and resort to good ole “tar and feathers” with these motherfukkers.

Qft. The second major factor is what technology and automation are doing to jobs. It's literally eating everything.

No, we underestimated dumb ass people. Both in leadership AND everyday life. I really hope this doesn't happen because mom & pop tech stores simply aren't a thing. There will be no local or small equivalent for this store once its gone. And that's bad. Because I can count a NUMBER of time where I went in and actually touched the product I wanted and that was the final selling point.

But like many restaurants that are failing, these companies failed to innovate. High end spots closing because they were too boujee to have pick up or online ordering.

I would have straight up come up with some sort of Best Buy home delivery service off the rip.

They were most likely (99.9%) racist anyways so fukk em.

I bought me tv from there cause I originally got a open box deal then they told me it the website doesn’t update until an hour after sale so it sold before then. They said they could get me one at the same price but it wouldn’t be for another two weeks and i couldn’t cancel it and have money returned before the next week or some shyt.

I ended up having to drive to the next town over and getting it at full price from another bestbuy. I could have honestly just ordered it from amazon and got it a day earlier. Without wasting gas.

Also I worked here during the holidays back in the day (07?) to save up money to go away for school. I was a cashier and the way they had us trying to upsell warranty’s, magazine subscriptions, and membership cards was wild. I think i got reprimanded for not selling enough subscriptions one week. The only people who fell for that shyt was older people and I honestly felt bad taking advantage of them, especially since i was seasonal.

After that i started using my employee discount for anyone i knew that came in. Still got that wack ass killers song stuck in my head. All these retail chains treat their employees like shyt, its hard to feel bad for them.

Also Best Buy has been added to Instacart app. They deliver in 2 hours or same day.

People need wages. You can’t automate everything

This is what some people don't understand. I still go to the regular checkout because the self checkout registers always error after a certain number of people use it, and you have to wait for that fat ass CSM woman to fix the error.
