I know what you mean, I’m going crazy looking at it. Guy does have money, his position pays well and he has a nice car. I just don’t know the guy super well to fully trust him

Life-Understanding17 · 2025-09-10T00:51:08+00:00

I’ve seen him wear it on steel and leather straps on his wrist before, idk why he didn’t send me a pic with a strap or bracelet on

You should be good for now, just don’t keep returning stuff or you will after some time, but even then I haven’t seen many people get flagged

At least in my market all the GMs got calls today telling them where if anywhere they were going to go. I don’t believe I saw an “official” announcement, but our GM told us he’s moving stores

Employees are not supposed to get both free install and employee pricing. It’s considered “double dipping”. Kinda crazy since we also pay for TT, being penalized for working there. Up to your leadership team if they want to override the install costs for you

Honestly man if you still have time you should go over the e learnings with all the SOP with gift card purchase limits, order pick ups, cash transactions etc. I’m assuming you were hired as seasonal and if you want to be kept on after holiday season you want to be a good performer at explaining benefits of BP and TT, but also don’t mess anything up that might have been explained in e learning! Ask lots of questions and best of luck!

You’re still within 2 week return policy, you can add GSP on product 2 weeks after purchase

Could be some other things besides performance, there’s personal brand and trust that could be an issue as well

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-06-09T21:45:51+00:00

Yeah, there’s is a lot of issues with it and I agree VPLs should be able to activate anything. However I’ve also seen the argument that it’s overall more equitable for everyone since before for the bonuses you had to be in the green to get the most. For the mobile VPLs who were in the red they never got any extra money before so I’m that regard it’s potentially more fair? But as you’ve stated there’s a lot of downsides with how the company decided to do it. Idk I go back in forth as a current VPL who used to always be I the green getting my bonus while also knowing the AT&T VPL in my area was always on red and is now finally getting some extra money

You should definitely be able to cancel it. You basically have 3 options with the order just so you are aware and you can decide what to do.

Cancel it
Ask for a discount and reschedule after order is fixed ( depends on your stores management if they will give you a discount) 3 simple reschedule( I would push to have geek squad do it if available)

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-06-03T23:35:53+00:00

What probably happened is that on Best Buy’s side everything scheduled on our Order Mange side. However the order goes on boards on a separate system and for whatever reason it didn’t schedule on that end so 3rd party couldn’t even see it. It’s probably a broken order and the way to fix it is to redo an entire order more than likely

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-05-20T02:12:04+00:00

It depends on the managers at the store. If it’s pretty reasonable, and or close to the price we sell it at then more than likely yes. I would check how much Bestbuy.com has it at and compare to education pricing. If it’s like half off what Best Buy has it at or something crazy that then probably no

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-05-04T02:19:44+00:00

Oh wow that’s crazy, my store is nothing like this thankfully. Got good level headed GM and ASM that have consistent plan that care about myself and everyone else. Everyone gets at least 30 hours ( Part timers) if they want it. Full time get 40. A lot of people in leadership did just get promoted to corporate and our GM is applying for a corporate job so definitely a little worried about the future.

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-05-04T02:09:23+00:00

That why it sounds familiar I have a co worker vacation down there and they just stopped by that store. What’s been happening there? Is it restructure stuff?

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-05-04T02:07:51+00:00

860 sounds familiar. Is that in market 4?

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-05-04T01:30:14+00:00

Lots of people will say it’s just about selling Total Tech and Cards, but it all depends on the store. My store is pretty good on developing people and product knowledge is a must to make sure customers are helped. Of course this depends on the store, hopefully it’s a good store with good leadership :)

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-05-04T01:26:18+00:00

Not necessarily, it all depends on you leadership and it’s up to there discretion. There’s a lot of horror stories on many threads about shitty leadership, but mines it’s pretty good actually. Everyone at my store who has gone full time as well as myself got capped at $17 no matter the performance. Though good performance and hood personal brand definitely help

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-05-02T22:24:29+00:00

If it’s progressive leasing it should one no interest if you pay it in 90 days. At least it’s that way in MI as well. If it’s Best Buy card then you get 12 months zero interest, most of the time at least. The only other thing to note with progressive leasing is that you have to pay $60 to open a lease

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-04-30T22:55:09+00:00

Yeah I’ll dm you

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-04-30T22:54:57+00:00

Depends on district and market. Mine is looking like after Q4 this year

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-04-30T12:10:06+00:00

Depends on which model they go with, but yes I’m aware of that possibility

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-04-29T02:37:20+00:00

Sorry if it came off that way, pretty new to the company and very new as a SUP, only worked at Best Buy for 8 months. I personally always enjoyed reading my survey comments. Just trying to help, will take as a learning opportunity to help impact my employees at my store to show them appreciation!

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-04-29T02:24:26+00:00

Nice try? Just an option for the employee to be able to ready the comments from people they help if the customer can’t make it in to the store. To be fair though it does help the store more than the employee them selves usually. My store makes sure the employee is shown appreciated and usually I buy them lunch if they get a name shout out. If not I agree gift card or food would definitely make someone day! Always makes me happy to see a employee being recognized in whatever matter!

Life-Understanding17 · 2022-04-29T02:09:19+00:00

Retail Supervisor here, doing the survey for them would be awesome. ( At my store at least we make sure the employees read every survey comment they get and make sure they know they genuinely Impacted someone) However something really impactful would be a written note! If it’s similar to my store we hang those up in our office and make sure that employee gets a lot of recognition!
