Best Buy Employees

Clear DayIt is a common known fact that complaints about a store or
it's employees are posted. OK, but seldom are positive comments
posted.
I want to add, that I never forget that Best Buy was the first store
here in the Twin Cities to stock and push the DVD format, back in 1997
or so.
Also I have encountered an occasional uninterested employee, but
mostly was treated as I would want to be.
This, of course, will vary from store to store and is probably
directly related to the store managers attitude.
Anybody who has a legitimate complaint should inform the manager. Also
if you feel that you are treated well, as in a case where a girl
employee kept on trying to find a wanted item, well the store manager
would want to hear that, too.
I, for one, keep going back to "my" Best Buy Store.
Hubert.

I totally agree with leaving positive feedback. If you feel that the store
and/or the employees went the extra-mile for you, remember their name, the
date you were shopping, and the approximate time, and write a letter--not an
email. Letters tend to be more noticed and responded to in a more personal
manner. There are some stores I've written to commending them on their
neatness, helpful and friendly staff, and my overall satisfaction with my
shopping experience; and they will write back, thanking me for giving them
my opinion, and sometimes they give me a gift card or two as a thank you
gift. Target actually gave me $40.00 in gift certificates!
I haven't had much of a positive experience leaving negative feedback. I've
written Wal-Mart about five times about one of their stores, and they never
respond (either to me directly, or by resolving the problem at the store).
Occasionally they will send a "We're sorry you feel that way" card out, but
in the end what does 'sorry' do? It doesn't make me want to shop there.
Doesn't make me think their trying to resolve anything. Some stores simply
don't care.
So most of the time I leave the positive comments. I send two copies of the
letter (one to the store, and one to their corporate offices). If you give
them praise, but point out something bad, they seem more apt to write you
back and telling you how they plan to make things better (i.e.. talking to
the store manager or to the employees that weren't doing their job right, or
whatever)..
If you have the time, write them and give them your opinions, they may just
help.

I highly recommend http://www.customerssuck.com Always gives me a
good laugh.

I work in radio broadcasting and we get complaints from stupid people
all the time. We just framed the latest envelope that someone tried
mailing to us. Here's how they addressed the envelope. Sorry but for
privacy I've ommitted identifying details.

Our Sports Station
C/O Our Talk Radio Station Call Letters
Our Bosses Name
Addressed to TV station across town we don't even own
Sent to the Capital City of our State where our offices aren't even
are.
