Best Buy cutting staff

I believe so.

Their stores now look terrible on the inside. Unkept, empty.

Every sign of closing down appears to be knocking. Amazon, Walmart, BABA, JD, PDD, Coupang.

Theres just so much competition that literally delivers.

Impossible. I was told that this economy was strong. And to trust our federal level estimates on job growth even though it conflicts with state level numbers.

I like walking around BestBuy even though I don't buy anything just to look at stuff..frick

I go into the store on black friday and buy a tv.
In stock should be able to walk out with tv right? Wrong.
"Wont be ready for an hour."
No big deal probably could use a bigger vehicle than the elantra i was in anyway.
Go switch cars, eat lunch, and come back.
Still not ready.
Ask someone in customer service and "they have no record of sell." get told to wait another hour and come back.
Didnt feel like going back home so I just hang out in the store.
3 hours later still no tv.
I go back home.
2 hours later I get a text its read
Get to store.
They still have no record in store of the sell (keep in mind I bought the damn thing in the store)
Decided I wasnt leaving without tv and annoy them into submission.
At that moment I decided I was done making bigger purchases there.

Theyve done this to themselves as far as im concerned.

I have a gift card I need to use before they close.

Best Buy workers suck arse. They just stare at you when you knowing you need help

I knew this was going to happen.

Buy stock. When staff cutting starts, stocks go up.

Honestly, I am surprised there are still as many retail physical locations as there are. With the internet an all.

It seems bigger retail stores that rent, like department stores in malls could reduce their rent cost by getting into smaller stores and places like best buy could shut down some stores and use the land for something more profitable. But I could see a new type of mall pop up that has smaller starts of all the major retail places that have some items available, but is more of a customer service location where people can go exchange items, etc. That way, you only need a few people working, but it would have to be something more than just a mall. It could be some form of entertainment where the smaller stores also serve as advertising. And security would have to be a top priority. You can't just have typical mall cops fricking off. In today's world you need a place where if someone tries to do some dumb shite, there will be people right there ready to act.

Today we need a store like New Generation .
