The Best Buy receipt checker

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Back in the day, we made a living walking out with PS1s, games, Tiger handhelds and N64s.

The hired the people in front because of that very practice. If you had the balls, you just walked in, put a system under your arm and walked out the front doors. Easy $200 when you returned it the next day at another store in the next county over.

This was before the internets, though.

Yep. Kmart was also good for this.

And they gave away perennials/shrubs/trees/whatever you could fit in or on the car Mothers Day weekend around 3 AM.

Good times.

Last time I went to Best Buy I knew exactly what I wanted. All I needed was a low-end DVD recorder. I found the one I wanted online and even printed out the info from Best Buy.com, including the check for in stock at the store. The person tried to tell me that they did not carry it in the store and proceeded to try to convince me to buy one that cost twice as much. I showed her the print out. Loved the look on her face. They (I assume on purpose) had none on display but had them in boxes on the shelf.

I have not bought anything in Best Buy in ages. You find better prices online . Plus some of the employees are so clueless it is painful. The only reason I go there is to actually see a product and play with it, then go back online to buy it.

At my store, if you don't offer the sales basket item, the customer gets it for free. When I used to help out up front, I had to ask a bald man if he wanted shampoo. He just looked at me, I smiled and said, "I know, but I don't feel like giving it away for free" (the signs explains what I meant by that). He just nodded and said he understood. Other times, when the same situation would arise, I would say, "Even though I already know the answer to this, I have to ask...". Customers will understand at that point.

I love when I am buying bags and bags of holiday candy, but they still ask me if I want to buy the candy in the sales basket! One of the many reasons I like the automatic check-out!

I don't get the point of the door check when an employee walks everything more than $100 up to the register anyways.

I've walked out many a times without showing my receipt. No one has tried to stop me.

The only time I have to show my receipt is when they have to take the security device off one of my items.


There is no receipt checker like Costco at Best Buy, at least none of the ones I have been to in both San Antonio and Fort Worth.
