Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Best Buy Bye Bye

Biggest problem buying music at Mall*Wart is that they censor what they'll put on their shelves.

Either CDs don't get displayed at all, or sometimes album art is forced to be covered up... like Anti-Flag's "The Terror State":

I'm not sure that's "the biggest" problem, but right on, brother.

Although some days I will go in and buy, say, a ski mask (I was going to say balaclava), duct tape, rope and ammunition at 3am just to see the looks I get.

Beats the night I was staying over at a friend's place and his wife asked him to run out for a few things... at the time, there was one 24 hour drug store open - in "the village". He picked them up, we got to the cashier and she was stifling a laugh.

That's when I realized there were two 20-something males buying a tub of Vaseline, condoms and Vagisil at midnight.

Agreed.

Wally World is a good for nothing POS.

I took advantage of their sale today and got Planet Earth (6 disk special edition) and The Complete Metropolis both for $50. Both Blu-ray.

I'm a bit surprised at how badly Best Buy appears to be doing. Everytime I stop by the NE Calgary store they seem to be busy. But on the other hand I, myself don't often buy movies, electronics and music there. Amazon.com is my mistress for all things physical media. I buy them from the States where the prices are better and there's no bilingual labels.

Best Buy has generally always been a store filled with young so-called "salespeople" who know very little about the equipment they are selling and whose main goal is to sell extended service contracts and regardless of what other stuff they sell, they will get fired if not enough of these contracts are sold.

Bayne, by the way, when it comes to movies specifically, check first with Amazon.ca because from my experience, Amazon.com isn't always the cheapest, especially when it comes to additional shipping and customs charges.
