FR was not blocked by Best Buy this morning. This afternoon it is. Geek Squad says they've seen this before. Something was posted between this morning and afternood that triggered the corporate algorithm.

It’s a great place to see the models and compare in person.
Then go home and order online from someone else for less.
I call bb Amazon’s showroom.
I’ve seen some down the years, but nothing to justify blacking out FR.
I’m a very bad man.
..and now, banned nationwide on BestBuy wifi.
“Im a very bad man.”
There’s a lot of that going around.
Got it. I was referring to corporate policies. I would think they have a right to restrict certain websites. Thought I’m not happy with it and have no doubt it would be one sided, as a private business I respect their right to do so.
I respect their right to do this as much as I respect their right not to serve blacks at their lunch counters.
"Public accommodations" means you have to cater to all components of the public, not just the people you like.
Maybe I’m missing something...this is Best Buy’s in store wi fi, correct?
I'm sure it was. I'm also sure you have a further point regarding this particular?
I bought my tv from Bb. Lower price than I could order over net.
Did you buy the “protection plan”? And if you needed more cables where’d you get them from? That’s where BB gets you, that’s how people walk in with a cheaper price and walk out paying more. If you hold strong on those you can do well. I got tired of the fight to keep the listed price, also got tired of not being able to find stuff because they re-arrange things so much even the employees can’t remember. Just not a pleasant store.
Overpriced Monster cables got me turned on to Monoprice. Same quality stuff at pennies on the dollar compared to Monster. Amazon Basics is pretty much the same idea.
I only bought the tv. 10% rewards paid for tax plus.
I get my cables out of a box in the attic!
