He's selling Car Audio, not installing it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Just curious, did your best buy merge all departments of DI, CarFi, and Media into one department called Portable Electronics?

The store I was working in actually HATED returns, and depending on the reason it could have resulted in a written referral of sorts. Though it didn't happen often. Best Buy stores don't like taking returns because it messes with their numbers on the day it is returned. We had to hit certain budgets and goals, and that would simply make the goal become the goal + that return. Making it harder to reach obviously.

yes i realized what i said.

it is done at staples too with their retarded tech people.

i was talking to a guy at the best buy by me who worked in the audio install department and said that as soon as business slows they start looking for new people.

x2 on this, idk what the guy was thinking, but in my experience, returns piss people off. and why would somebody go back to a place that does shitty installs. i guess if ur installs are good, dont expect any business. lmao

but thats not the same as good installs dont bring people back. or not getting enough returns makes the business upset. none of what ur saying is coming together. or making sense.

install is done shitty.

they come back, and you charge them to re-install/look at what is wrong.

This may have been the mentality in the past, but Best Buy has rolled out a new business plan and motto that focuses far more on gaining customer loyalty then it used to. Interactions are now supposed to be more of a casual chat then a hard sale, to try to befriend the customer and get them to become loyal store goers. Every employee had to undergo this training if they wanted to keep their job. It may not have hit all stores yet though, as it was rolled out in the largest stores first..

Exactly, this plan was rolled out a few months ago actually. Maybe around the beginning of the year if I can recall.
