I don't like that at any store. I often hear people boast that they wasted a Best Buy employee's time while shopping for a TV they bought cheaper from Amazon. The reason it costs more at Best Buy is that they have to pay that guy to wait on you.
First, the price at Best Buy is often less than Amazon and Best Buy will price match Amazon, or at least they use to, and since Amazon started collecting state taxes it is no long as great a deal. Plus you don’t have to wait days to get your item and don’t have to worry about inept USPS employees or porch pirates. Plus you keep some of the money in your community and employee locals.
“That last chaps me because I have spent many hours with “customers” who will come in and get my advice and then go to a big box store to save $30-$40.

I used to run into that working at a bicycle shop. What we didn’t mind was someone buying parts online and then bringing them to us to install.
