"We are going to continue to use the term holiday because there are several holidays throughout that time period, and we certainly need to be respectful of all of them," Bryant said." And yet if you look at there web page it say "Theres still time! Get your gift by Dec 24th!"

There was an incident in St. Louis about a month back where a couple purchased a digital Sony Video camera for around $1,600. When they got home and opened the box a jar of Classico Tomato Sauce was in the place of where the camera was supposed to be. They attempted to return it to Best Buy and were told by management that is was it "not their problem" as the box was sealed. I believe they refunded the money eventually.

Sorry Ace,
I've been at Best Buy 4 times in the past 2 weeks,
I got a "Merry Christmas" all for times.

Did not know this and I ordered on line quite a bit of gifts for the extended family. I love Best Buy. I hope that they learn for next year like Walmart and various other businesses to use Merry Christmas.
To: WhiteGuy
Best Buy sucks anyhow. Prices are too high, service is too slow and selection is horrible.
They must have been trying to sell you a magazine at the checkout called Merry Christmas because the stores where I live don't even know what the holiday is.
That's ok though because I think their "holiday" numbers are going to suck wind. Unless their TV sales saved them.

I purchased most of my gifts from other places this year. I usually do about 75% of my gift buying at Best Buy, but not this year. In fact I purchased a 1000.00 TV from another place and didn't bother with Best Buy. I got a "Merry Christmas" from the girl at the check stand.
To: Gopher Broke
I'm sure they don't care - but I just sent them an email and let them know that I will be buying my HD TV at Circuit City and that I will no longer shop at BB because of their offensive "No Merry Christmas" policy. They have the right to run their business as they please and I have the right to take my money elsewhere.
When I hear "Happy Holidays" I have to wonder "what holiday"? Valentine's Day? Fourth of July? Halloween?
Christmas is Christmas - not a generic "holiday".

Maybe they are starting to learn their lesson......still, will keep their gift card I have in the drawer and spend it later when they choose not to ban Christ from Christmas, ie bite the hand that feeds them.

I didn't know about the boycott, so I went to Best Buy yesterday afternoon and purchased a CD box set by a... Jew! I didn't notice any signs of Christmas in the store, like pictures of Virgin Mary or an altar or stained glass windows, as one would find inside a church, after all it's a commercial establishment not a church. The cashier offered me a free subscription (I think that's what he offered) to Sports Illustrated or PEEPHOLE or something else, I don't remember what. I declined. There was this Muddy Waters album, but I'm not sure if it counts:

"I've been at Best Buy 4 times in the past 2 weeks, I got a "Merry Christmas" all for times." You won't get it on their www.bestbuy.com web page, and you won't get it on their gift cards. They've got a couple of Hanukkah gift cards, a spanish (hot in Spain and Mexico) snow man, and a "pixel tree," but no "Merry Christmas" (or any flavor of Christmas) gift card.

Iwas in Best Buy tonight, asked a couple of shelf stockers and employees where I could find things and each time I said, "Thanks. Merry Christmas." I didn't get so much as a grunt in acknowledgment. Same with Barnes and Noble.
