    They seem to be in the same situation as Fry’s Electronics. I worked with them the year before they closed and it was exactly as you describe. The shelves were barely stocked, there weren’t enough people, the quality of products went way down.

    It’s sad because Best Buy is basically the only place to go to see things in person before buying them. It’s important for TVs, Monitors, Laptops, Keyboards, and more.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if they close down for good within a decade.

      Aww man rip Fry’s. What a great company. Only place to get real Hi-Fi gear. They have a militant pricing policy if they label it a price they sell it. Once bought a pair of $800 reference speakers for $300 because someone accidentally put the price of the smaller model on it. Was ready to pay $800 but the manager went to the aisle and came back and was like “yep it’s the wrong model price but we put it there” and approved the $500 discount lmao. What a hero.
