UGH! Why I hate Best Buy

[liam1972]

Buying from Best Buy is purely a convenience thing. IF, and I repeat IF you happen to shop there the first week of a titles release. I for some reason you cant make it during the 1st week, be sure you stop at your local back and fill out the proper paper work to apply for a small loan so you can make your purchase. For the life of me, I don't know why anyone would even consider buying a blu-ray from Best Buy after the first week of release. I happen to work very close to one, so for me, its pretty convenient to stop in during the week when a new title comes out, but if for some reason I don't make it in by the end of the week, Sunday, then all bets are off. Most recent example, $ was kinda tight the week Generation Kill was released, and both Best Buy and Amazon had it for $46. Best Buy may have been a $1 or 2 more, but count that as shipping from Amazon. Well, like a fool, I stopped in BB a couple days ago to pick it up, and I nearly collapsed from shock. Luckily both me and my work partner are EMT's so If I had, I would have been in good hands. BB was actually trying to sell GK for $65! Thats not a typo.....it really was listed at $65. I stopped at the customer service desk and showed them on my iPhone the price at Walmart and Amazon. They told me they wouldn't match Amazon since they arent a brick and mortar store, but they would match Walmart, and when I thanked them, she proceeded to tell me they wouldn't. Wanna know why? Because Walmart didnt stock that title in stores and was available online only. She proceeded to ring up the blu and I just stood there in shock. When she asked for my $, I asked if she was on drugs, and yes, I did ask her this. She looked at me and wanted to know what was wrong. I said I'm not in the mood to be robbed today and told he to keep it and walked out.

This isnt the only title they do this with. Once that initial week pasts, all bets are off. Prepare to go take out that loan.
When will BB get their heads outta their asses and realize theres no reason to rob us just because we cant make it in to buy a title that first week its out. UGH. Did i mention how much I despise BB?
