Best Buy thinks they own the word Geek

So Best Buy is threatening legal action over a commercial that pretty much depicts every encounter with a Best Buy sales associate I've ever had.

Yeah, they pretty much need to get over themselves and fix their shitty sales training program (if they even have one), rather than go after Newegg for telling it like it is.

I used to rip best buy off big time back in the early 2000s by buying a new video card and sticking the old one back in the box and getting a refund.. I may be a thief but it's hard to feel bad about doing it to Worst Buy.

I've never ever stepped foot inside of a Best Buy.

That's actually very wierd! Whether you actually buy something or not is different... But to never step inside of one... Hmmmmmmm...

Let me guess... U live in a city where there's only one stop sign, and you have to walk everywhere? <---- totally kidding!

That's crazy though.

Really there is no reason to buy any electronics from Best Buy if you live in NC. You can order thing from places like Amazon and avoid paying taxes. No tax makes the items cheaper. Also the prices online are generally cheaper anyway.

They always try to get you to buy warranties and there are never enough people to assist in buying things. Not that I need any knowledge on electronics, I just need them to go get the item I want to buy so I can buy it. When you shop online you just click a few buttons and you have your item. You even get free 2day shipping on Amazon if you lie and tell them you're a mom. Hurts my pride a little bit but I'm saving money and getting items fast.

I do not like customer service in-person. I find the people to usually be annoying. People try to say it's best to shop at places like Best Buy (all these stores have the same problem, not just bashing BB) because if something doesn't work you can go there and easily have the issue sorted out. I disagree, I've had nothing but headaches the few times I did buy things and had to return them. When I shop online the returns are easy, the only problem is you have to wait a long time for RMAs but usually stuff isn't broken.

I do have to thank Walmart though. When my PS2 died I just bought a new one at Walmart, took the new one out and put my broken one back in, then returned it. That's about all those places are good for.

Hmmm. That's interesting.

I don't particuarly care for ordering electronics online. Had a few bad experiences. Mainly, when I want something, I want to have someone to smack around when there is a problem. :)

Not that I use bestbuy very often. Although I did recently purchase an excellent landline phone with headsets for working from home.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
