As an IBMer and a Giants fan, I say they can both have the title.
Best Buy will be outa business in 5 years, if not less.
Christmas circa 2011 is a stupid holiday for the stupid.
If what you say is correct then the FTC would and should likely investigate. Either way though, I can pretty much guarantee that I will soon be seeing TV ads from law firms imploring me to call them (because the law firm really cares about me!) because I've been injured by BB.
Anyone whose Christmas was “ruined” by Best Buy, or any other business, doesn’t know what the holiday is really about. Mass cancellations of orders may be (and is) a bad business practice, but “ruin” Christmas?
Looks like BB dupicates the airline model of overbooking, meeting what they can, and screwing the rest.
Proof is always the hard thing, but as I said...
when you are rejecting orders for commonly available items, like a WII after a month of having the order, I am not buying for one iota that its a supply chain issue. This just doesn’t pass the smell test to me.
Combine that with they didn’t tell anyone they wouldn’t get their order until it was really too late for any more online orders for the holiday to come in.. sure as hell smells of intenional deception.
is that the company that makes blue M&M’s
seems like a michael bloomberg inferiority complex...
(/s)
Investigations will happen depending on how much was contributed to the obama administration.
it is very clear crony captialism protects best buy if they donated.
Best Buy Stole Christmas? Jesus, tell me that’s not true! Remind me what Christmas is about, I kinda forgot.
“Jesus, tell me that’s not true!”
I just posted the article.
Maybe you should try pinging Him...
I do.
I remember that there were store that did nothing but sell and repair appliances and did a thriving business. There aren't stores like that anymore.
I wonder why that is.
So basically you're defending crappy customer service (and waiting a month to inform your customer you aren't going to fulfill their order IS crappy customer service) as the capitalist way.
I am not defending anything
But this article is making what point?
Report their screw up and let the customer decide
Dont use it as propoganda towards the failures of evil capitalism
Basically you literally can't give away an old CRT TV anymore. I work near a big Goodwill donation center and watched one day as they loaded hundreds of them that had been donated onto a truck to be taken to an electronics recycler. No one wants them.
Where are you reading a general attack on capitalism? How paranoid of negative business stories are you?
ok but we never heard WHY. Is it some sort of secret?
And this benefits Best Buy exactly how
OK - I agree!
