re: Best Buy cutting staff

are you claiming that you’re in the right here?

Yes. 100%

buy it via the app (to get points on your card, which you could’ve done anyway by checking out with said card)

No. I bought with the app so that I could spend my points that I had already acquired. I wasn't trying to get more points. I was spending the points that I already had.

then expected the minimum wage cashier to just be like “oh you already bought this? Cool, have a nice one” and let you leave the store?

Since it had already been purchased by the time I had gotten to the customer service desk, I expected the "minimum wage cashier" to check the computer system to see that the purchase had been made. I ordered the shite that I wanted and it took a fraction of a second for me to get emailed an order verification along with a receipt. I expected the employee to make an effort, rather than say,"You have to wait for one of the guys in the warehouse to bring it out.". The "warehouse" was a door that was 3 ft behind him.

If you bought it on the app there is a process that comes along with that. You can’t just bypass it because you think it’s stupid.

---

As stated before, the "process" was a stupid fricking charade. And after 5 minutes of strolling around the store I went back and leveled with guy how stupid this was, and he went and grabbed my shite himself, so I absolutely bypassed the process.

my main thing about BB layoffs is that a lot of times half the staff is standing or walking around doing nothing at all.

Bruh... That's exactly what this kid was doing until I called him out on it and he went and got my shite. So my gripe isn't as different from yours as you think.
