    Sous Vide, grilled Ribeye on my Grillgrates.
    Keith G.

    So I need to tell a little story, about a year ago I purchased a bunch of equipment from BBQ lsand in Tempe AZ. One of the items purchased was my built in Louisiana Estate 860 BI, then a cooler, storage doors and other items.  The Bad, The Lousiana Estate 860 BI gave me problems from almost the beginning, from a fault temp probe, defective digital board to another replacement temp probe and countless fires from the grill I had issues constantly. I could not tell you how many meals were ruined. Next time I need a pellet smoker I will go straight to Greem Mt. Grills.  The Good. Everyone at BBQ Island and their 3 locations. They helped me all of the way with the issues and was able to help me get a replacement grill when the grill just would not work right. Steve Averett specifically was awesome and I could not ask for more. They have a customer for life not because of the products they sell but because of the employees they have and the service they provide. They didn't stop assisting me even though they had already sold me the items.   I just thought I would share in case anyone in the Phoenix AZ market needs a grill or grill accessories in the future.   Bob, at the Peoria store thanks for the heads up on the Grillgrates they worked great last night. Never had steaks with a seer like the picture shows below.

    Awesome service. Went there to pick up my smoker that I got at an unbelievable price and met the crew. Great bunch of guys and before I left I purchased a Green Egg grill and accessories. . Spent $900 more than I anticipated when I arrived and did it with a smile. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

    Electric fireplaces.

    Good service and knowledgeable staff. Plus today LA Fitness guys are grilling hotdogs. The best grill to me is the Egg. And they have a lot to choose from. We bought ours here years ago. They also have plenty of glass and info about fireplaces.

    The feet of a "new" Yeti cooler shipped from BBQ Island. After receiving back at store they still said this was a new Yeti

    Ordered a Yeti cooler as a wedding gift. When received the couple sent me pictures and asked if I ordered a used cooler. I did not, I paid full price and ordered a new cooler. The "feet" were dirty and scratched up from use, there was not a manual inside, nor was there the food basket. What was inside was smelly water. The outside had a dent in it. When I requested a return customer service Sarah sent me a message that said it could only be new as it shipped directly from Yeti. I sent her pictures and she authorized a return and said the cooler shipped from their location but was new. How would she ever think that a new Yeti would have water in it and would be dented from use? When the cooler was received back at the vendor I did receive my refund but Sarah sent me another message saying they received a new Yeti not a used damaged one. Seems to me the owner has a problem with staff switching out used coolers for new. Why else would customer service keep trying to convince me it was a new cooler even with the pictures I had? I would not trust this store for any purchase.

I also have flooring that needs to be done at another property, and I was deciding between Lowe's and Home Depot. After my interaction with an employee named Adam, Lowe's has lost at least a few thousand dollars of my business, potentially more. From the beginning, Adam was incredibly dismissive. I explained what I was looking for and asked reasonable questions about the flooring and estimate, and rather than engaging with me normally, he repeatedly stared at me blankly, as if my questions were stupid. If that wasn't what he intended to communicate through his body language, he should be aware of how negatively this behaviour comes across socially. Staring blankly at a customer after they ask a question, rather than engaging with or answering them, is not a positive or professional way to communicate. When he began putting together an estimate, I noticed that the numbers were significantly different from the estimate shown online and asked him why. Instead of simply explaining the discrepancy, he looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?" in an extremely disrespectful and patronizing manner. I responded, "Are you?" and asked to speak with a manager. He then told me that he was answering my questions, "just not the way you want me to," despite the fact that I was asking for clarification precisely because my questions were not actually being answered. When I requested the manager, he sarcastically said, "I'm calling the manager. Is that helpful enough for you?" I told him that he actually had not been helpful at all, at which point he simply walked away and left me standing there without telling me whether a manager was coming. I ultimately had to find another employee and ask them to call a manager for me. The interaction also had extremely misogynistic undertones in my opinion. The combination of the condescension, dismissiveness, patronizing "Are you okay?" response when I questioned the estimate, and general manner in which he spoke to me left me feeling that I was not being treated with basic professional respect. The assistant store manager who eventually spoke with me was very nice, listened to what happened, apologized, and told me he would address it with Adam. I genuinely appreciated how he handled the situation. Unfortunately, by that point the damage had already been done, and I will be taking these flooring projects elsewhere. Lowe's needs to emphasize basic social and customer-service skills with its employees. Customers should be able to ask questions about purchases costing thousands of dollars without being mocked, patronized, or treated as though they are an inconvenience. And even if a customer were being difficult--which I was not--an employee responding with sarcasm and disrespect is incredibly unprofessional and an excellent way to lose business. In this case, that is exactly what happened.

    I had a really good experience at this Best Buy on my recent laptop shopping. Unfortunately, my…read morelaptop fell and the screen cracked so it was time to get an upgrade. Wow I probably could've just gotten the screen repaired. The laptop itself was over four years old, so it was time to get a new one, especially since I use it heavily for work. On this occasion, I had been looking at getting a HP Omni three as they had a special at Costco but they did not have any at the warehouse to try. I noticed that at Best Buy they did have that HP Omni three to be able to try on display to see if I liked it. And I'm so glad that when I tried it in person I discovered I did not actually like that laptop setting. So thankfully, I had to help from Tarj and Maddie. Tarj showed me the Lenovo yoga two and one 14 inch laptop, which was on sale due to their 60th anniversary of being in business. I like Lenovo's but usually they're a little bit out of my price range so I was really excited because this one was like $500 off so it was within the price range that I wanted to be in for my new acquisition. I really battle between the Lenovo yoga and the HP Omni X 2-in1. So I made some notes, went home and did a thorough evaluation of which would be the better purchase based on my usage for my work and then also durability. Hands-down Lenovo yoga was the winner and actually the percentage was higher for the sale off and so was getting a really good deal as opposed to you could typically get that Omni X closer to about the price that it was being offered however, for the Lenovo it was solidly $550 off and the processor was made in 2026 so I was getting an updated. So I end up ordering the laptop on Best Buy's website using my credit card because with my credit card provider I would get an additional year warranty and that also include accident insurance for up to $500 so I ordered it on the website and opted to pick it up. Usually pick up process is pretty easy, but I think because this was a high-end purchase it had to go through some additional verification to ensure it was not a fraudulent purchase. Again on this day, Tarj help me by calling the verification center, and making sure that I can take my laptop home without having to come back since I was coming from the gym. I so far and really happy with my purchase and happy with my experience at Best Buy. I did sign up for their $29 membership which allows me to try this laptop in my home for the next 60 days which is a little bit longer than the traditional 15 day return policy. Check this place out all the staff there were really friendly and I'm happy that there were nearby and helped me when I was in a bind so that I could get back to work.

    Extremely Disappointing and Uncomfortable Experience at Best Buy on Ray Road in Phoenix…read more This evening around 8:00 PM, my husband and I visited the Best Buy on Ray Road in Phoenix with one of our sons. We were there with every intention of purchasing PC systems for both of our boys. This was supposed to be an exciting shopping experience because we were planning to surprise our children with new computers. When we entered the store, we were greeted by a male employee at the door. I asked where we could look at the PC systems, and he pointed us in the appropriate direction while speaking into his headset. We were then assisted by an employee named Taj. My husband began asking him questions about the computer systems, and at one point asked if he could show him some camera holders. While my husband was speaking with Taj, I remained in the PC area with our son looking at the different systems. Shortly afterward, another employee, Lacy, approached me asking whether I needed assistance. I explained that we had already been helped. However, she continued lingering around me and repeatedly asking questions while also communicating through her headset. My husband eventually returned visibly upset by his interaction with Taj. When Lacy continued questioning me about the PCs, my husband politely explained that we had already been assisted. Rather than acknowledging him, she continued directing her questions toward me. Shortly afterward, two additional employees approached us and asked, once again, whether we needed assistance. At this point, the repeated attention had become extremely uncomfortable and felt less like customer service and more like we were being watched or monitored. The interaction ultimately became so uncomfortable that my husband decided we would take our business elsewhere. What makes this especially disappointing is that we entered the store prepared to spend a significant amount of money on our children's computers. Instead of leaving excited about our purchases, we left feeling judged, unwelcome, and profiled. As a Black family, the experience left us deeply concerned that racial bias may have played a role in how we were treated. I cannot say what was in each employee's mind, but I can absolutely speak to how the interaction made us feel and how differently the experience unfolded compared with the welcoming customer-service experience we expected. Please do not assume that a Black customer is unable to afford the products they are looking at, is merely window-shopping, or is there for the wrong reasons. You cannot determine someone's financial situation, intentions, or tax bracket based on their appearance. If Best Buy is going to promote an inclusive shopping environment, then that standard needs to be reflected in the actual customer experience. I strongly encourage management and corporate leadership to review what happened, speak with the employees involved, review any available store footage, and provide additional training regarding racial bias, profiling, respectful customer interactions, and treating every customer with the same level of dignity and respect. We came into Best Buy ready to make a major purchase for our children. We left feeling so uncomfortable that we decided not to purchase anything and will be taking our business elsewhere. This experience was unacceptable and deeply disappointing.
