Best Buy Clark Street - Swindle Central - Exorbitant Prices, Horrible Service

by SpencerLord

If you are reading this, you cannot say you haven't been warned. Mike Miller is running one of the most customer-unfriendly stores I've ever shopped in. I went through 2 hours of annoyance returning a laptop, only to remember I left my home video HD backup disk in the machine. They stole my disk (and lied about it), as well as ripped me off for $120 by denying the defect in my last machine. The Chicago Clark Street Best Buy store is a flimflam, a double-dealing hustle. The manager, Mike Miller, is an uber-lousy businessman who shouldn't be anywhere near customer service. Avoid this Best Buy at all costs. Do yourself a huge favor and go to Microcenter, and ask for Rodney (weekends) or talk to the sales supervisor, Mr. Hernandez - their prices crush Best Buy. Rodney was superhelpful, and his supervisor greeted me personally (and the laptop I ended up with is way better/cheaper than BB's). And if you've had a bad experience at the Clark Street Best Buy, join me in writing Brad Anderson at 7601 Penn Avenue South, Richfield, MN 55423. Tell him all the details. I really liked them before they swindled me today. Oh, and since Best Buy stole my disk, we will never see the HD movies I've shot over the past week. I hope you're enjoying my HD files Geek Squad Ganks. Mike Miller is the worst manager in Chicago. Shame will be this stores legacy.

If they ever pick up the phone....

by lis81

It took three calls and a total of 15 minutes waiting time before someone would pick up the phone in the proper department. Yeah, if I had that kind of time I wouldn't need to call ahead in the first place. I think overall my favorite part is the person who answered the phone. After I had told her I had called previously twice and wasn't able to get through she immeadiately put me on hold with out saying anything for another extended period of time.

I suggest asking for Brian, in the digital camera department, he seems to be the only competent and able bodied person in the store.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE?
