It's not as if they actually carry stock anyway, at least here in Florida.
Our Best Buys are so balkanized now. There's an area for Microsoft. An area for Google. An area for Apple. An area for Samsung. An area for Dell. An area for HP. Each with it's own non-Best-Buy-employed staff who only deal with their tiny territory. (I almost said "know" instead of "deal" but they know very little and are not able to answer technical questions.)
So if you want a cellphone accessory that's not phone/brand specific like an external battery, you need to look in several areas that have slightly different stock and prices.
And if you want an Ethernet card or a USB C cable, well then fuck you, because normal people don't need those, so we don't stock them!
And if you want something out of the locked SSD cabinet, well fuck you again, because we have no idea who's responsible for that cabinet, so we can't unlock it and sell you something out of it.
I don't waste the time and gas and just click on NewEgg.
Best Buy is going to be the next Sears/Radio Shack/Toys'R'Us soon.
