Best Buy Store Purchase

[Mochisty]

I went to the Gaithersburg Best Buy today located at 15750 shady grove road and it was one of the most awful experiences I have had as a Best Buy customer for 8 years. First of all I came in at 6pm and wasn’t seen till 7pm because they only had one person at the customer service register. I was trying to make an exchange on a laptop that I bought and was told that I had to reset it. I tried to reset it 3 times and could not and the person at the counter basically told me that’s not their problem and won’t take the return even though I bought the laptop about 7 days ago. I wasn’t going to complain but I saw this family with a pregnant lady at the customer service line wait for the whole two hours I was there and she was visibly distraught and dizzy from standing for two hours waiting for the Best Buy employee to finish what they were doing for her which was simply buying a fridge and getting it shipped. Another family bought a tv and were standing in line for an hour just so they can pick it up. What kind of company let’s their assistant manager Diyar notice the issue of lack of people at the register and not make any decisions to fix the problem. There were more then enough people working the floor that could come to the register and help. As I was looking for another tablet while my laptop reset I asked my wife to ask one of the people on the floor if they could bring the tablet I want while I waited. She showed them the picture on the phone and the guy said “it’s locked up in the storage” and walked off without even helping her get the tablet. He wasn’t even helping anyone. Most of the employees were sagging and not even correctly wearing their uniforms. No wonder the store is run like this that management or employees are just treating their customers poorly. I have never seen a Best Buy so bad with their customer service or management.

The managers name was Diyar B. He was definitely just trying to get everyone out of the store near the end of the day 7:45PM. At that point was already there for two hours and had barely gotten any help. He told me I should go home and come back tomorrow and that there’s nothing he can do to help me at this time after I had been there so long. The employees name I don’t recall but she was at the customer service desk at the date of the post. She was the only one working there when I came in but Best Buy employees did come and go I think one persons name was RAJ but they didn’t even bother to help get the line moving.

He was actually part of the problem he knew what was going on but didn’t bother to step in and help out
