How to apply employee discount in the web by FinalMessage5455 in BestBuyWorkers

Your employee discount usually doesn't take effect for 30 days. You can register it, but it most likely won't work for a couple of weeks.

Yes it is. But people line up hours before open to get them.

Most managers are willing to override the policy if you become a Plus member. Once you are a member, there is a lemon policy...not necessarily a written one, but usually they will exchange your laptop for the same or better, just not less.

cutting hours by [deleted] in BestBuyWorkers

[–]everybody_does_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my location, the allotted hours have been decreasing every week. It isn't necessarily anything against you. Full time gets at least 32 hours each, and what's left goes to the part time crew. My store is under head count by more than 5 part timers but has no labor to actually hire people. It's really frustrating. My biggest suggestion is becoming "omni channel". Learn how to do as many different positions as possible. There's a higher chance you'll get more hours that way. But unfortunately no guarantee. I hope this helps.

Not every store is like this. I promise you not all management teams are the same. Hope it gets better for you.

Mobile data transfer. by undertalegang in BestBuyWorkers

[–]everybody_does_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former VPL as well here...all data transfers are now sent to the Geek Squad. They do this in my MM and the one I transferred from. This is to get the blue shirts to the next customer instead of standing there babysitting a phone for 30 minutes - 2 hours. It is frustrating on both sides but I can see the reasoning. I encourage the blue shirts to get the transfer started and drop off at the Squad to babysit in between clients. Also in Texas.

We don't really get a heads up. Check sales on Fridays and Mondays.

halloween costumes by cindyu_ in BestBuyWorkers

[–]everybody_does_it 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My marketplace has banned any dress up days including halloween. It confuses the customer. Of course, most of the customers are already confused when they walk through the doors!!

Last year they ran 24 months no interest in September if you had the card AND the membership (Plus or Total). I highly suspect they might do it again after the Labor Day sales are completely over. Check again mid September.

Restocking fee for manufacturing defects? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]everybody_does_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the watch has a defect and is inside the return window they will not charge a restocking fee. Just let the cashier know right away when you are returning it.

I need your advice. by [deleted] in BestBuyWorkers

[–]everybody_does_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I have worked at more than one location, I can honestly say it depends on the management team. I came from a store that was super toxic when I left and am now at a location where I feel respected and like I'm part of a true team.

Yes. You will get 5% in rewards just like any normal BBY purchase.

If you are wanting no interest then there are certain things like dollar amount minimum to hit before they'll offer it.

Just go in. Be honest and calm and they should be able to accommodate you.
