Former best buy alum checking here too. Worked the "Tech Bench" which then became geek squad through high school and a little in college. Man I feel old now, it has been over 10years ago that I left. I remember it being pretty fun working there, discounts back in the day were awesome and it paid damn well for a high school job. Can't imagine what it's like to work there now with everyone buying online.

I remember our GM was notorious for only hiring hot girls. He eventually got fired but damn was it nice until then.

I heard the discount structure has changed a bunch and isn't that great anymore. I believe it was like 5% above cost back in my day. Car audio, A/V and networking stuff was a steal. Home theater I bet is the only thing keeping BBY alive. TVs are usually the only thing I go to the big box stores for now.

I see BB is now allowing customers to demo products for a few days before buying it. Perfect time to try it and then buy it on Amazon.

If you dont have amazon prime and you buy something on amazon, you're waiting easily 7 to 10 days for your stuff.. which sucks.
