I try to be completely fair in any review I type out on here and if something changes one way or another noticeably, I also like to mention it.
Well this location has changed a bit.....for the better.
I've been here several times in the last 2 months and have noticed changes. Gone is that horrid cuing area before the registers and in it's place is a rectangular register area. Only thing is that they need a line area. Even more than that, the employees have been friendly. Yes, I typed that right.....the employees have actually been friendly.
It happened once, from the greeter, to the floor employee, and then at the register. I thought it was a strange fluke until it happened again......and again....and again. So whomever does the hiring here has actually started to hire GOOD employees who are FRIENDLY to customers. Took long enough!
Parts of the store still need some work. They DESPERATELY need a price scanner in the aisles as the prices on the DVDs/Blu Rays at times do NOT match up to the register price or even the online price. They have some discs thrown in the "bargain" bin......but sometimes other customers toss stuff in there and you never really know what's what price. I recently bought a Blu Ray that stated $14.99 on the shelf tag (no price on the Blu Rays, just their Best Buy sticker) and when I got up to the register, it was $19.99. I'm not one of those people who'll bitch about such things (the movie is fairly new and I expected to pay $19.99 anyway), so it's fine. But each time I shop for discs here, it's sort of annoying to not know what the hell the prices are on several things. So yes, please get a price scanner or two in that area.
They also need to deepen their movie libraries. I don't expect the cds to change, but the games could use a deeper title selection as well. If you're a movie fan like me, like most locations do these days, there are Best Buy Exclusives and such for some titles.
Speaking of the game area, I was in there fairly recently and the employee was very friendly. He got information wrong, but still an employee being friendly in Best Buy is a good thing always.
So Rome wasn't built in a day, but this location is getting better in several ways. Hopefully they continue this, as I would love to actually go to my closest Best Buy location (this one) without getting frustrated. And the last few times I've been here, I wasn't frustrated at all. That's a good thing. Keep it up! read more
