If you can get them to refund your money then thats good. They will of course give you the run around so you give up and they get to keep your money. If you can't get anywhere with them, how did you pay? IUg you used a credit card or debit card call them and make your complant. They can stop the payment and the bank will investagate and they may refund your money and then go after best buy to get their money back. You may be able to do this with a check also. As for the making the manager open every thing you buy, I like that idea. see if you can get some friends to do that also, then go do your chrstmas shopping on teh buseyest day and do it then.
In the days of magnetic tape Id say go there with a roofing magnet one rated to pick up 100lbs... Play around near the computers.... Then say goodbye to Best Buy in a week there will be lines of ppl there to return stuff.. Works great with TVs tooo..
that sucks. but try having lots of people try to return things they bought at a store that is going out if business! i will tell you what, i will never work in retail ever again.
I wonder if they could lock you up for swipping clean a whole bunch of lap/desktops ??.. What would be the charge. Vandalism? Id do it..
Does that magnet thing actually work anymore? if it does im going to best buy tommrow to have a little fun
I don't think I want to distroy anything or be a vandal but I understand it. I put magnetic filings in some paint and sprayed my neighbors satallite dish once but that was back in the day of the big dishes. He never got a good picture from that again. I don't know if it would work on the new ones. I called my credit card company to see if I had any recoruse there and they said that if they send me the gift card that I can't dispute the charge on my card. Or if I did that I might not get the gift card. So, now I wait to get the card. I give them two weeks. I will then begin my revenge. Rue the Day!!! Vengeance is Mine!!!!
it would need to be a large magnet, From a 15'' speaker or as I said a roofing magnet. strong enough to go through casings on computers... Data tapes that were magnetic were easy to kill. I worked in data processing and this dood this. Of course he went to jail since the data was very sensitive and there no backup.
If you want bang for your buck on Magnets then I would buy Rare Earth Magnets. Those are smaller and more powerful. You can get some really strong ones for less than $30.00. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_magnet I would be willing to bet that you could get a magnet that would fit in the palm of your hand that would affect hard drives.
another nice story about best buy.. seems like a great place to shop... http://consumerist.com/372959/best-...-customer-jawbone-headset-is-overpriced-sucks
no.. they are giant pill shaped magnets that you have cows swallow to remove metal that may have somehow ended up in their stomach.. nature takes course and the cow shits out the magnet
dilli use to manage a dairy farm is the only reason i know.. she says if your really thrifty you can reuse them after the cow dies though.. just gotta cut them out.. lol
