Best Buy To Open More Mobile Locations
The point is this....
I currently work at Best Buy in the wireless department. I consider myself a highly educated employee along with the other 5 members of my department. Yes, there will be people who work with the cell phones that are not as up-to-date with everything, or don't know about PDA phones as well (since we do not currently carry them). It usually takes about 2 or 3 weeks for people to become familiar with activations and equipment after they start.
The new stores will only have the highly skilled and knowledgable workers, and still lower prices than the Verizon/Sprint/Cingular stores will. In the 2+ years I have worked at Best Buy, I am yet to see a lower price on a...

Since when did lower prices automatically equal better?
And BTW... The accessories that BBY and other sell (cheaper than the corporate stores) and junk and VOID that warranty that you boasted about earlier.
Geeze, are you ever a gloomy gus.

I work for a Best Buy, and yes, some employees may not have the same drive as a COMMISSIONED retailer, but there are many that do care.
