Fuck you.
No seriously, fuck you. We're breaking up.
I hesitantly accepted your policy of pushing maintenance contracts. I politely decline your sales reps when they attempted to add a Sports Illustrated subscription to my purchase of a cell phone charger. We've all gotta get paid. I understand that.
But you mean to tell me that you wont carry Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress Or John Carpenter's The Thing but you've got half a shelf dedicated to Dinosaurs: Season One?
At first I thought it was just my own stupidity keeping me from finding Kurosawa's masterpiece. After all, it is difficult to find anything when your dvds are organized into "Drama, Action, and Comedy."
God forbid someone want a foreign film, or a horror film, or a documentary.
Oh you wanted A Scanner Darkly? That's in action. Conan The Barbarian? Drama of course.
That's it Best Buy, I want my apartment key back and I want you to lose my phone number.
Up yours,
Manifest

Up yours indeed
STEAM!
If you're five.
FUCK YOU ASSHOLES
But yeah, Best Buy is kinda hurting in the foreign films or Criterion Collections. If I want something right at that moment or just to check something, its usually better to go to Suncoast or Borders. If I can show patience and am mad about awful prices at those places, online it is.
It's pretty fucking awesome.
I'd never read this particular Philip K Dick book because I find his writing to be hit or miss, but this was very good.
That's what I hoped, but, you know, Keanu Reeves.
i bought my vacuum cleaners there for years and upgraded with the psp every time one broke and finally said fuck it and bought a dyson that comes with a 5 year warranty that BB honors, so they refunded me the 4 years of psp i had left on my old vacuum, gave it to me for like $50 cheaper than a new one, since it was a floor model and gave me $120 BB gift card that my wife decided would be better spent on a dumb steam cleaner when i wanted a zune and the dyson is a damn champ of vacuums
bb has been good to me

I don't know. I think he's sort of underrated.
He may not be the best actor in the world, but he makes some really daring choices with his scripts.

It's not obscure. It's a fucking classic.
And it's not like it's always been this way. Best Buy, was at one time the best place to get new DVDs. They had a great selection that was well organized. My point is that the selection is no longer great or organized.
In short, try again retard.

I've actually heard this from several people.
I suspect they resemble the old best buy more than the current one.
Same here.
I really should just turn my head very slowly to look at them with mild shock and horror.
Though it may be considered classic, it's still in Japanese and thus I highly doubt there's much demand for it. When I couldn't find a copy of a few classics at Best Buy like The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming! or Robin and his Seven Hoods (which are filmed in English) I just turned to Amazon and saved money in the process. But that makes me retarded I guess.
I then promptly forgot and tossed all the associated shit that they gave me for it. Cool. My mistake. What's that? You'll take a phone number and simply look it up? Excellent.
Except that they must have entered my phone number wrong as well as spelled my last name incorrectly. Thus...I cannot be found. I've asked if they could look under the most common misspelling of my name and "no, we don't give out information about our customers to other customers." Hm.
I'd say that is a good this except that not too long ago I tried to return something there that a friend had gotten me. I had no idea if it was from Best Buy or not. Apparently it wasn't, but they were willing to look up all of his purchases within the last few months just to be sure.
Let me spell that out. I gave them my friends name. They brought up his credit card information, asked me if this was the address he lived at and if this was his phone number. With a jaw dropped on the floor I said yes and then they read off to me his entire purchase history.
You....you shouldn't be able to do that. He was fucking pissed.
And fuck you best buy.
Lesson? Pay with cash at that shit hole.
You have spectacularly missed the point.
Well, since best buy bought futureshop they are starting to converge on the same thing.
I've also found that the Canadian BBs carry a lot more stuff than FS does, but for some reason I find a lot of stuff cheaper at FS.
I don't know, though, as I don't speak whiny dumbass.
