Last October I went to buy an SD700 IS. It was clearanced for $275. They were out of them but had lots of the SD800 IS in stock. They were stickered at $400.
I grabbed the $400 SD800 and went to pay. It rang up as $275.
I was so furious that I ran out of the store as fast as I could. After paying $125 less.
Seriously though. I have *NEVER* had a bad experience with Best Buy. I've never had a hastle with any service contract that I bought or had an employee give me lip at the service counter.
You know......the same sorts of things happen to me at Best Buy. I've never been talked to rudely, never treated badly, never had a restocking fee applied to anything I've returned....strange, isn't it?
On the other hand, I've always had pretty courteous employees to deal with who try to find what I'm looking for, even if that means crawling around in the back of the store or moving a ton of boxes on the upper shelves to get one thing out that's buried.
I've been in Best Buys from Hyannis, MA to many in MD, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, TN....and I have always been treated rather well.
But I've seen some people having problems at the return desk....and most seem to be creating the problem themselves. Trying to return an item after its return window is closed, trying to return an item without all its accessories, or the item is obviously well-used and shouldn't even be returned (still works....just got back from vacation and don't need the iPod any more, never mind the scratches and such).
It seems to me that the ones who have the most difficult time help create the situation that ensues.
