Well duh, like look at what the Obama regime is all about, its communism. Deconstruct America so everyone is standing in line all day for a few turnips and some garlic just like the old Soviet Union.
Stupid ass liberals whining their new system is failing, its their fault they rode on the socialist bandwagon with Obama at the wheel. Make Obama answer to his ineligibility.
Fix the problem, stop whining about it.
It isn’t the fault of Best Buy that the products which keep customers coming back most frequently, movies, books, music and games are also the ones which are also migrating to digital. They are getting more serious about downsizing but none of these companies selling small electronics and responsible for manning physical overhead aren’t going to be able to compete on price with Web based retailers.
Thanks!
“Greenspan somewhat shocks a Botox’d and babbling Bartiromo when he admits “the stock market is the key player in the game of economic growth.” “
1. So called “banks” and “insurance” listed on the Exchange:
2. Phony time-due paper of #1, MBS and phony mortgages constantly bought up by Fed.Reserve fascism.
3. Government communist pensions in the phony so called “free” market. Force taxing everyone else.
I will not enter a Best Buy again, never. Loud music (really just a thump, thump, thump, noise), low-life customers in the main, covered with tats and shaved heads. it’s nothing but a dumbed down, lowest common denominator location. I’ll just stay home and shop on the net.
Big big bump.
All the chain stores are eliminating every American job possible to eliminate, and selling ever more Chinese imports.
We need to start fighting back.
With taxation and American production.
Now. China is now the world’s largest exporter.
China is growing.
We are now the second-largest. And shrinking.
Obama economy + Amazon/online sales, in answer to the question.
Now I’ll read the article and the comments.
Bump and a half.
We need to bring back US industry.
Now.
It's the Ubama recovery duh.

You are completely right.
I make a Wal-Mart only list of things that I want to buy that I know Wal-Mart carries. I leave the store (every time) with at least 20% of the list unfulfilled because they're out of that item....those items could be out for weeks too.
Two years ago for two weeks the motor oil shelf at the local Walmart was empty of both 5W30 & 10W30 motor oil in all brands. This is no excuses for having stocking issues like that. What if a building supply store decided not to stock 2X4's for a few weeks? Customers get mad and walk out. Their sales would suffer. Sam Walton would turn over in his grave over preventable issues like that. There wasn't a motor oil shortage. Regional product shortages hitting all retail stores are understandtable. That isn't the issue causing this though. Corporate Purchasers and those in charge of inventory are nickling and diming the stores to death.
If the Walmart store 5 miles down the road of a product the chances are the Walmarts within a 20 mile radius are also out. I don't even attempt another Walmart if one is out anymore.
The media hasn't noticed. Apparently, the homelessness problem, that was rampant under Reagan and both Bushes, has been solved, too.
Has to be. I don't know of any free shipping service.
I sell a lot on ebay. They're always pushing me to offer "free shipping." I sometimes do, but I build shipping into the item's price. The bad thing for the buyer is that they can't get a combined shipping discount when they purchase multiple items, so they may actually pay more.
Prime is essentially a tax that gets you faster shipping, generally better customer service and faster delivery methods.
It may or may not be the best deal which is why it is important to log in as a non-member and compare prices with third party vendors + the cost of expedited shipping.
After the first go round on this piece it occurred to me what is actually happening. The reason for the problem is unjustified expectations.
The consensus of corporate vice presidents responsible for growth management was to extrapolate some known trend and then perhaps to be on the safe side, add maybe 20%.
The result of that exercise was placing stores in areas known to have marginal sales but predicted to grow. When the economy plateaued, the marginal stores became a drag.
The statistics are not necessarily indicators of a bad economy, but indications of poor prognostication biased toward perpetual growth. If growth was the means of economic survival, then those businesses will fail.

China is now the world’s largest exporter. Not America.
What we are doing is making things WORSE.
We need to change. Start to favor American production, and bring back US jobs.
China is growing huge. Seriously. Remember they already have four times our population.
They are the only opponent we have ever faced, which could conceivably defeat us outright.
We must recognize China is a special case.
Right now they do things closed and protected, always favoring China and always growing.
That must stop.
Support America. Support Americans. Now.
True enough - you don't have to really look for it - either it is there, or it isn't...plus you save a lot of time shopping.
