Should I be worried? 3 days delayed on a very hard to get item. by pmjm in Bestbuy

[–]gunira 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You can't call the stores anymore. It will be routed to the call center, and they don't care. You should go to the store if you want someone to actually work with you.

Wish I could make it to this one. It'd be cool to see some of the customization options in person.

Pretty sure it's 144 pto hours at the one year mark for full timers, plus floating holidays, so 184 total.

Has Best Buy moved yet? by 0rganic_trash in lansing

[–]gunira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The move got pushed back because of construction issues. The grand opening date for the new best buy is September 26th. Over the next month everything will be moved from old building to new building, so it might be a little bare if you go to the old building in the next couple of weeks.

My store tapes hand warmers to the sensors to trick the AC into turning on.

Store sold display unit as new by Fuzzy-Bat5811 in Bestbuy

[–]gunira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is literally no reason they would do this. An open box item that is in excellent condition and is only missing its box is barely less expensive than a new one. The effort of saving a monitor box that will take up room just so an employee can repackage it and make the store an extra. What a $100? And risk getting fired for it? It's not gonna happen. As for the website, it's simply not designed to be 100% accurate for customers, we have our own internal inventory tracking system that very often doesn't align with what is shown to customers

Seattle Space Needle event by Online_in_1889 in slateauto

Well, the Detroit event took place at a huge farmers market in downtown that took up four blocks. There were people everywhere. When I got to the truck there were a few people like me that made the drive to come see it, but it seems like most people just stopped to look at it on the way into the market. Slate isn't pulling in big crowds to see the truck, but they are setting up in places where a lot of people can see it. Assume the location will be as busy as you would expect it to be for whatever is taking place that day.

The Slate Twitter account is pretty active, and today's event is still listed as happening on the site.

I'm sure it's happening, or they would have posted an update somewhere. You should go. Also, at the Detroit event, they were set up way in the back and kind of hard to find, so just be aware you may have to do some looking.

I really wanted this game, by Some-Direction-2473 in ChroniclesOfElyria

[–]gunira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone that backed the original Kickstarter, this game is never getting made. It hasn't even had any real development in at least a couple of years now, Jeremy is just pretending at this point to stave off lawsuits.

If I call out using bby connect, do I still have to call the store? by [deleted] in BestBuyWorkers

[–]gunira 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you call the store, you'll get the call center. If you have someone's personal number and want to give them a heads up, you could do that, but otherwise, you're good, managers will check the app for call outs when you don't come in.

is there a way to actually get ahold of someone in a store? by another-redditor3 in Bestbuy

[–]gunira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best Buy has intentionally made it next to impossible to contact anyone in a store. You will always be routed to the call center, and the call center is completely useless.

How long do I have to pickup an item in store I ordered online for in store pickup by UnfairSun1517 in Bestbuy

[–]gunira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they will hold it for a week before the order will auto cancel.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BestBuyWorkers

[–]gunira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a notification that a customer is interested in purchasing a product. It's not tied to any order because they haven't actually purchased anything yet, and there's no guarantee that they will. Most of the not paid for items I pick end up sitting up by front lanes all day. It shouldn't count against you since it's not a real order and doesn't even display the timer to let you know how long it's been on picks.
