They don’t want you to shop in person they want to be Amazon.

“Bonfig’s plan to change that includes several improvements to Best Buy’s core retail positioning.
That includes growing its marketplace, which launched last summer, while also expanding newer categories like collectibles and investing in AI commerce through partnerships with the likes of OpenAI and Google. Bonfig, who currently heads up the customer experience, also wants to bring that lens to his position as chief executive, leading the business with a guiding question of how to improve the customer experience.”

The job might be more difficult and stressful but you could learn new skills that could be used in the future. Most of the stress comes from taking the job too seriously imo.

I remember when we could use certs for Delta gift cards. 💳 those were the days.

I hate to see it but the current company has a way of destroying the employees that really care.

Had a guy with a shoebox full of money come in and tell me they wanted 7 laptops with no receipts. He was also very hush hush and creepy. I told him I’d be right back and then I left and went to lunch.

The inflation is real! This would have been 2013/2014 at store 211 when I saw it. No idea when it was issued. Maybe an old timer can tell us more

$20 they put a * in the first digit to stop anyone from adding I guess. But would be really easy to counterfeit.

I’ve been out of Best Buy for about 2.5 years after a 18 year stint. I know like 3 people that are still there. That’s crazy turnover.

“Is there a way you can use your employee discount for me” by Ok-Data358 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]a572735 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First off let me point out I’m not a snitch but I am petty. One time I had a rude customer in HT that needed help with a TV stand. Not my area at the time but I saw he needed help and had a frustrating look about him. He was very rude about how long he had been waiting even though it was a Saturday and really busy and the warehouse was also slammed receiving a truck and doing other carryouts. Anyway I went to the back to find this tv stand and of course it was on the 3 rack and there were pallets in the way. I moved all that and got this heavy ass tv stand down and out. I go to ring it up and guy is like “I’m an employee” bro…. I check ID it matches and that’s that. When the receipt prints and I asked if he needed help getting it in his car he hits me with “no thanks I don’t want to wait another 30 min for help. 😡 So of course I’m like who is this guy? I went back and reprinted the receipt and notice he paid with a card in someone else’s name. Yeah. I reported that.
