I guess I'm the oddball here as I like shopping at Bestbuy. Granted, I only make a purchase maybe once out of 5-10 visits to the store. I like to go there to just look around at what's new and test out new products to get some "hands on" time and then buy the stuff somewhere else although I do buy from them aswell because of the replacement blacktie plans that have saved my ass many times and also the 2-3 year no interest financing I get. My local store a few miles down the road will remain open until the whole company shuts down by 2015 If the economy itself survives that long so I'm not heartbroken over the news. I don't have the problem with the employee's pestering me because I go in the store looking like a complete bum and they stay away. One time I really wanted help and was gonna buy so I went looking for someone and the kid saw me and actually took off running to the back room to avoid me.
