I too, found the Santa ads disrespectful and an insult.
Honestly, their advertizment agency said “Let’s insult and denigrate Saint Nick at Christmas - what a great idea”? And the people at BB went along with it?
I don’t shop BB when I can go elsewhere, and I usually do go elsewhere. Why? What’s more important than selling me an item at a good price? Service after the sale. I bought in inexpensive TV, after 35 days it wouldn’t turn on. BB refused to accept it back as defective, no in-store credit, no refund, nothing.
Since then, I have purchased 3 HDTV and a very expensive home theater system. Nothing, not even the cables came from BB; and likely nothing ever will.
there is no problem shopping at best buy (except the LOUD rap music, noise, clueless sales people, etc.) as long as you DON’T Buy anything there.
Use Best Buy as a way to look at something then buy it for far far far less and better online. (assuming they even have the item in question) Computer parts are 5-10 times more expensive.
Even walmart is probably better than their offerings and prices.
