Most people would have to admit that BestBuy’s customer service leaves, well … something to be desired. As far as I’m concerned, BestBuy lost their status of retailer a long time ago. So, I treat them for what they truly are … a glorified, over-priced showroom. I go there to look, not to buy. Usually, I go there to look and end up buying online, probably on Amazon. They’re really the only so-called retailer I treat that way. Case in point, I was in there earlier this week and I saw the game SimCity Societies that looked kinda fun. Even being a SimCity fan since its inception, I balked at the $39.99 price tag. I Amazon’ed it from my mobile phone and behold, Amazon was selling it for $16.16. In fact, the MSRP is $29.99. BestBuy’s price is $10 over the MSRP. Why the f*ck would I want to buy it there? BestBuy doesn’t care about me. Why should I give them my money, even despite the fact they’re overpriced? Sprint PCS didn’t care about customer service. They thought they were invincible. And, we all know what’s happening to them.
