An excellent culture filled with intelligent and innovative employees that are currently in school working on their degree at a prestigious university or tech loving employees working their way up the corporate ladder. Many employees offer excellent customer service to life long elite customers while also having to deal with unintelligent customers who do not understand value and that the store offers excellent accidental damage protection on expensive products because the manufacturers warranties are usually poor and limited. These type of customers also seem to fall into the category of people who in fact have not actually purchased anything from best buy but come in to seek free advice and troubleshooting on the products they previously turned down added protection on. Most personable experts will go out of their way to help these non customer time vampires as long as these said vampires do not verbally assault the considerate techxperts and act ungrateful towards them.

Random people coming to believe that best buy is a free technology tutoring company that uses interns to satisfy every question the time vampires wish to ask, no matter how embarrassingly stupid it may be. The effect also seems to turn these non paying time vampires into assholes who are entitled to act like they might murder these slaveinterns if they cannot slow down their explanations so their feeble mind can comprehend.
I can't believe that mobile expert politely wished me a great day and went to activate a new phone for a paying customer after only spending an hour explaining to me how to pair my amazon purchased knockoff $20 Chinese robowear smartwatch with my razor flip phone. And how dare he tell me that my amazing robowear zingzOnG4 will disconnect constantly because of the outdated poor technology in both my devices and that they arent compatible! He was just trying to sell me the $79 pebble smart watch so he can make some commission. No wonder Best Buy is going out of business i assume since I haven't paid attention to stock and business news since I upgraded to my top o the line motorolla razor in 2007. I bet he was also lying when he said he couldn't port over my phone number from Verizon just because I owe them 300$ and he couldn't activate my awesome razor phone on at&t because it's CDMA. PSH not compatible with GSM my ass! I bet those aren't even real things, they sound made up. He just wants my potential money! I will be contacting the BBB over this! (Perfect example of the best buy effect)

An electronics store that always is a step ahead of the competirion including Amazon. Can help consumers rebuild credit through offering 6-24 month no financing credit cards while also earning rewards for gratitude from repeat/regular shoppers. The one last large electronic retailer survived by training employees vigourously in their respective departments while also expecting all employees to understand products from every department. Providing expert service in their department, a successful employee will exceed in fulfilling a customers complete needs in one shopping experience. An employee may offer a more expensive HDMI cable not because they work on commission, which they don't, but because a 4k HDMI cable will be more compatible when buying a 4k TV instead of the consumer believing they are being upsold because they think the $20 non 4k HDMI cable made from b-parts will give them an equal viewing experience. In truth they will end up returning to the store blaming their sales consultant and the company as a whole because they refused to take thirty seconds to sign up for a rewards card and think they can return products without a receipt. In that sense most customers don't understand current fraudulent scams in which a degenerate steals the cable and comes to return the cable without a receipt since they did not have one in the first place.
An amazing best buy mobile specialist corrected errors made by the corporate mobile phone store employees in their rush to grab their commission. Next time I will be sure to return to best buy to upgrade my phone since they get their bonuses based on their ratings in customer satisfaction surveys and all the better promotions they offer over my corporate mobile store.

I love my new computer and was so grateful the expert took their time explaining all my questions in layman's terms I could understand. I even was approved for 24 month no financing to purchase it and 5% back in rewards!
