The one here in NELA never should’ve opened. I bet there were seriously angry rednecks when it did.



WTF does this even mean?

Same as Amazon pricing.


They'll price match if it's from a store and not an individual seller. Ended up getting our OLED TV for $500 less. Did the same for sound bar they had paired with the display TV. Ended up getting the the TV and sound bar for leas than the original price of the TV.

I think we’ve been to one here in Baton Rouge twice in about 4 years. I went recently to try to find a phone cup holder - they didn’t have anything, but the dash mounted holders. Second was a dash cam they didn’t have much.
I couldn’t find anyone to wait on me, well there was a kid on his phone and I decided not to bother him from play his video game.
We did buy 2 tvs from them over the past 5 years that we have been impressed
Sorry for the long arse text

They used to have the best warranties. I bought a tv there for a dorm room and the guy said the warranty is 30 bucks and covers anything. He said if anything, just break it right before and come get a new tv. I’m sure the good warranty has gone awa



This is how they make money, by selling warranties.

Two weeks later the gift cards lost in the mail show up. I think I came out like $300 bucks ahead


A friend of mine (who post on this site) had a similar experience but I think it was from Office Depot if I remember correctly. He ordered a laptop, it got lost in the mail, he reported it, and they sent him a another and refunded a portion on his card. Then, a few weeks later, the laptop arrived.

I ordered a mattress on Amazon and they sent the right size but the wrong version. Gave me the option of refunding my money but keeping mattress, or keeping my money and the mattress and sending the correct mattress. I kept the money and wrong mattress. Still sleep on it 5 years later!

Same. I've always had good experiences with BB. Had a dented washer delivered to my house and they replaced it very quickly. It's nice to deal locally sometimes.

Best Buy did that to themselves. They've done enough stupid shite over the past 2-3 years.

I went to get a modem from them recently and they were asking $79 more than walmart for the exact same one.

They can go away.

I would pay good money to get a MicroCenter instead, but considering the nearest MC is on the west side of Houston, having two local BestBuys has saved my arse a few times.

i know you know this, but comparing Best Buy and MicroCenter is like comparing apples and oranges.

One in Baton Rouge is open. Solid as far as Best Buy goes.

Love Micro Center. That’s where my gaming desktop came from.

Not that similar to Best Buy though.

I completely forgot about the Millerville one.

The Millerville Target is secretly the best Target around.

Bed Bath and Broke.

They are closing down all stores unless they find a complete dumbass to buy them. Went woke and all.

That Best Buy seems to do pretty well. That's the closest one to me so I go in there occasionally. Usually has a decent number of people there.

Yep. I would prefer to have both available. Just saying that if I had to choose between apples and oranges, I would take a bushel of oranges and run

I knew Best Buy was on their way out when they created a section for kitchen appliances.
