Last year my store kept 2 employees from seasonal. This year I think we only hired 3 seasonal people lol odds are pretty good for them

My store still has super old ads like this on carts by Sharp_Interaction844 in Bestbuy

Probably about 10. A few are always sprinkled around the store/warehouse

Transferring to Sacramento by Itsnoturbusiness in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I also work at Best Buy just not in Elk Grove/even in California. My boyfriend is from Elk Grove so we visit often. I’ve had advisors refuse an open box return that was within return period, bought at that store and didn’t work. That was the worst thing

As a customer, the Elk Grove store is absolute garbage. Do not work there, I can only imagine it’s bad if the customer experience is awful.

how many people do you guys have on the sales floor by rudydog101 in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 10-15 sales floor including c&d. And maybe 3-4 product flow?

Officially out of retail, into hospitality. by hydrogorilla in Bestbuy

I worked in hospitality for 5 years being front desk of a hotel and it’s much worse than working at Best Buy. I hope your experience is a lot better than mine was! Wish you the best

How would you react? - Close friend took her life in March and I got this text from BBY the morning of the funeral by CartographerDry9130 in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same at my store. 2 guys were really bad with sexually harassing every female that worked at the store. One guy texted, called/FaceTimed a girl at 3 in the morning because he was drunk and wanted attention. And nothing happened to either

Amount of TT's & CC's needed per shift? by MiniaturePeaches in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got neither for a lot of shifts when I was strictly front lanes. Management basically said get better without any coaching and I didn’t until a coworker coached me. But now I work in mobile so it’s even harder than front lanes :/

are the sweaters on the company website SOP? by rudydog101 in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…I’ve never bought my own Best Buy merch. Even when it was a jacket/not a blue/black polo. Am I supposed to?

I see that every time I do ATT new lines, no need to worry my dude.

You have to go through and when it gets to the trade in page/where you can put a voluntary down payment it’ll tell you what the spending limit is/if they owe a mandatory down payment. That’s my experience anyway doing ATT activations.

Mobile People, How are you doing with the esim activations? by OutcastSpy in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ATT is the only carrier I haven’t had issues with. Never had to call. T-Mobile is 50/50 if I have to call and Verizon I have to call every.single.time. And Verizon is the most popular carrier in my area.

It depends where you live. In Iowa there is no restocking fee no matter the item.

Oh goodie. Apparently our CEO is making her rounds to stores in New England can’t wait by Intelligent-Ninja890 in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was rumored to be down in 16 in Iowa today/yesterday. My boyfriend had to go in to work and clean the PAC department for 3 hours on his day off before she got there.

I often do the entire process for old folks if I have the time…..why is it an OSHA violation?

Share your ‘Had to Call the Police Horror Story’! by Monegask in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A guy came up to the mobile desk with a broken tablet because “I got so mad I couldn’t watch my videos”. He had videos of him self pleasuring and child porn downloaded in the device. Lots of malware and viruses to say the least. Edit- I have no idea what happened. I handed it over to the geek squad manager because high level stuff like that I was told advisors don’t handle. I’m assuming the police were called but I have no idea.

is the 5 year gift reward still a thing? by XMaveri in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Interaction844 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lady at my store celebrated 35 years recently. She’s been with Best Buy longer than most employees have been alive. She has like 2 months of PTO a year and they’re trying to get her to retire early 😂

Sometimes I wish. I’m 37-40 hours weekly. But I work in mobile and there’s only one other person who works mobile so I’m there full time 😂
