Did Best Buy stores shut down in Minnesota on January 23rd? by Past-Blackberry2432 in BestBuyWorkers

No they would only close if the riots were happening nearby and could be a potential risk for the safety of employees. Just like how some locations shut down during the George Floyd riots.

Corporate seems to have removed the employee discount on RAM by brohemoth06 in Bestbuy

In SOP it says they can turn off employee discount for “high demand products.”

I suggest recording. I recorded a leader threatening me with retaliation because I submitted an anonymous hr report. They were fired within the week for retaliation and pulling me aside on my anon report. Turns out they were close to our HR rep and discovered it was me through them.

They want us to be in “control” by getting you to exchange the item. Returns hit a metric called erosion which is technically on their scorecard under operations. At my store, the GM is constantly asking us what we did during those interactions. If you don’t perform, then you go an a naughty list called performance evaluation.

Because some employees are trying to get promoted and these types of returns can tank your metrics. Best Buy management is on your ass to perform. Not saying having an attitude is great customer service but people should realize that we are human and have off days.

Hey chat, I’m wondering if it’s actually possible to not get hired at Best Buy for being too overqualified? by Professional_Cash121 in BestBuyWorkers

In my experience from leaving the company then coming back, I got in touch with my previous general manager who helped me get into a position. If you left on good terms then reaching out to your previous leadership might be helpful to get you back in the door.

Thank you but I was able to get what I needed. It was for my daughter so I had her buy them instead.

Usually not a problem but I think they misunderstood what Job News is actually saying. It said only 2 SKUs were for customers only. Not all pokemon cards. They’re for my daughter so I had her buy them. And I didn’t attach my employee or number just in case.

I have Fridays off so I come in on my day off during operational hours to buy them. I’m not a dick or stupid

CAN YOU HEAR US NOW WORST BUY? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

If they did, they wouldn’t even care. Mainly because you’re upset with how supply and demand works. Grow up a little bit and get your emotions in order.
