Because no sales person at a corporate store ever screws anything up or lies just for a higher commission. 🙄

I received pretty good service when I bought my Incredible there. Boy were they pushing those accessories though. I was impressed.

Best Buy is the most horrible company to work for.

Just wanted to say. Been there done that. Turnover at a store is like a roller coaster ride. You get on you get off. They're all about forcing employees to push crap you don't need. And they get no extra monetary incentive for anything; except for upper management of course. 🙄 My favorite is them asking if you want to buy a flippin replacement plan for a video game?!

I'm sure all you product reps that have had the unfortunate displeasure working BB stores can confirm this.
