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.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
