Default Best Buy or Worst Buy

Almost got arrested. For graduation, we bought our son a nice
computer from Best Buy and had them set it up and paid for their best
warranty. A few weeks later, it stopped working so we took it back.
I went to get it today. They told me the operating system was bad and
it would cost $129 to re-install it. Huh? I told them 'I bought it
here and the operating system was on it so you sold me a bad system,
so fix it for free". No, they would not. We went back and forth a
few times before I decided everybody in the store should know their
policy. Raising my voice I declared, "You mean to tell me you will
not replace something you sell that is bad"? "Only hardware" they
said. I made sure even more people heard this asking them over and
over if they truly refused to replace products they sold that were
bad. When I took the computer, I told everybody I passed that Best
Buy would not replace faulty products. When I got outside, the
manager came outside and said, "I did not want to embarass you inside
by discussing this". I said "I do not embarass easily so lets go back
inside so your customers can hear". He told me not to go back in.
Then he told me to wait because he was going to call the cops to get a
restraining order to keep me away but I laughed and told him I had no
intention of coming back. I waited a minute because I thought it
would be great if they had me arrested because they had never once
asked me to leave, I could sue. It was too hot so I said, "See ya in
court" and left.
Then I went to two other computer stores and told them my story and
they were shocked. One said, "Really, they won't replace bad
software, thats amazing".


Yeah, don't bother calling their supervisor line either, it's a joke and
never gets results...

Yeah, never try a rational or logical solution. Screaming works a lot
better. Sheesh... potentially spending a night in jail over $129???

They have you arrested, they are going to be losing a lot of their profit.


Maybe. Is it worth the long hassle, the fingerprinting, angry people with
guns? All over $129?

Feel free, but I'll pass.

It was fun. What was the most fun was the shocked look on the
managers face when he said "I didn't want to embarrass you by
discussing this issue inside near other people.." and I replied "I
don't embarrass easily so let's go back inside and discuss it in front
of your customers". He freaked and said we could not go back inside.

Or, he just didn't want to make matters worse. He knew he was wrong, but he
was unskilled in dealing with an irate customer. Basically, you proved to
yourself you're superior? Sounds like a testosterone thing. I guess I just
don't get it.

What's funny is that Froggy didn't have the skills it takes to
satisfactorily resolve a minor problem.

He should have enlisted JustHate or Loogy...they would have threatened
to beat up the manager.
