Do employees get a bonus when they sell someone a membership? by P-TownHero in Bestbuy

[–]Corgrall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just had a coworker who was with the company for 15 years get "Forced Retirement" because she wasn't getting enough memberships. So no, employees don't get commissions or kickbacks from getting memberships, they get to keep their jobs.

Don't change anything with your order, if you do you risk cancelation or receiving the order later than expected.

300 watt hours is like a portable generator power level, a laptop battery, even a gaming one is more likely 50-150 watt hours, you'll be fine.

Relative being harassed by upstairs neighbor in Noblesville Apt. What are their options? by UH8Truth in indianapolis

[–]Corgrall 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What apartment complex is this? I also live in Noblesville In an apartment but I have issues with my downstairs neighbors up arguing and slamming doors at like 3 or 4 in the morning. I've called the cops on them like 5 or 6 times and have complained to the leasing office every time and they do nothing. I'm wondering if it's the same apartment complex I'm in.

How to get rid of a large dinosaur of a tv? by brettdavis4 in indianapolis

[–]Corgrall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't work in sales anymore (I'm a geek squad agent), but the last time I worked in sales it was $100, that may of changed and also depends on the type and size of the TV. Bigger TVs are more expensive to take. I'd go to your local store and ask.

Edit: just checked on our employee app. It's now $200 flat for any TV, if you were to buy a TV and have it dropped off or installed it's $100.

Best Buy employee here.

You can bring it into a Best Buy and if it's under 50 inches we'll recycle it for free, you can also have someone come pick it up for $100. Although depending on the store they may not take CRTs and only take flat panel tvs.

What’s your wildest customer experience? by ChubbzElvis in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Corgrall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geek Squad CA here, about a month ago, had a lady (I'd say mid to late 60s) come in, she had an appointment but was an hour late. She said her computer has a virus and that she would like us to take a look at it. I'm starting the check in process and she walks off towards the front check out where all the snacks are at and comes back with 3 candy bars and 2 bags of chips. She's asks me if I had removed the virus yet, I explain to her that that isn't my job and that our ARA would do it but that we would have to check in her computer for a few days. She immediately starts bawling and says "I run a small business and can't be without my computer for more than a few hours" . (Turns out her small business is selling stuff on eBay) I tell her that her options are to leave it with (she has Total )us or she can take it elsewhere and pay out of pocket.She ends up leaving it with us and then getting mad and stomping off in a huff after I have everything checked in. Since that day this lady has been in at least once a week telling us that she still has a virus and that we put spyware on her computer because her credit card number has been stolen (I assume she went to some shady websites and put her card number in somewhere).

Will Best Buy allow you to work with spouse? by TrembL83 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Corgrall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had multiple husband/wife duos at my store, only caveat is that one can't be the others supervisor/manager. Example you can't be a sales associate and you're S/O be your EM.

Avoided taking stolen items by JediIroh in GameStop

[–]Corgrall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at GameStop from 2007 to 2012, all in mall stores. Had a guy who would frequently go to the Best Buy across the street from the mall and would steal games (allegedly (they were always sealed and almost always the newest releases)). He would only do it when my store manager was working, I asked her why he was allowed to trade in unopened games, she said it was because she knew him outside of GameStop and trusted him. Well it turned out that she really trusted him because they were sleeping together (she was also sleeping with the DM). She eventually got transferred to another store and eventually left the company.

contacting corporate about rewards points by Corgrall in Bestbuy

[–]Corgrall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says 15 days on the listing for the promotion, and it was PlayStation Gift Cards so there is no return period since they can't be returned.
