Can’t compete with the lower overheads of Amazon.
Must be running out of ancient garbage in the warehouses. I mean, that’s all Best Buy sells is crap. They don’t seem to have anything new in inventory anymore.
The most liberal stores in America. They were hardcore mask nazis during Cold-19.
Not Bidenomics.

Joe Biden’s greatest economy ever!!
The company cited consumer spending habits.
Yeah no money due to inflation Biden takes a bow welcome to communism comrades.
(and “supply challenge years,”)
Joe and Mother Pete have entered the chat.
It’s that great economy Biden spoke about. He even said ‘Bidenomics” was a compliment. 🤮
On a personal note I hate BB, had some awful experiences with them. Could write a short story on it but basically sold me a bad new computer then lied , dragged their feet and eventually refused to honor the warranty.
So I called the company directly and they were shocked and sent me a shiny new computer.
I’ve never bought a thing again from BB since then and it was a gateway—tells you how long ago that was.
Close them all

Recent observations about Best Buy, their dedicated Apple space disappeared near me. An aisle is now dedicated to open box returns. Their accessories and cables have migrated from Apple (I’ve run into compatibility with MFi.) to Insignia. It seems a little more middle of the road to bargain bin then high end.
I bought a wonderful TCL 6 series from them in 2021, broke my small/cheap one bought another in 2022. However my last OLED was Costco because I have 3 years of a warranty which they gave me through Square Trade vs. paying a hundred or two at BB for the same thing.
So while I used to love shopping there it seems that every time I go there there’s one more thing that makes me enjoy the experience a little bit less. One more thing that takes their top of the line image down a notch.
Best Buy: The showroom to see in person what you buy cheaper on Amazon.
Haven’t been to a brick and mortar electronics store for so long, I can’t remember the last time. And now without Bluray and physical media even that incentive is gone.
Last time it was already starting to feel like how Fry’s did in the end, low stock and a ghost town. More employees than customers.
i’ve given up on buying almost anything at BB ...
my last attempt was looking at a 4K OLED TV, kinda on the spur of the moment b4 doing research ... the sales liar kid spun lots of lies about an “open box” TV on display, but turns out after wasting a ton of my time that there was no actual box, the remote control was “lost”, and the “open box” TV was actually a floor display model with a ton of hours on it ... NEVER AGAIN, BEST BUY!
i still buy SD cards and thumbdrives from BB though, because i’ve found that almost all SD cards and thumb drives sold on amazon are counterfeit ... they seem OK at first, but after a few seconds of a test transfer, the transfer rate drops off by several orders of magnitude ... many simply crap out and refuse to work at all after a few days ...
Best Buy has 1,000+ stores in the U.S. The report reads to me like some minimal housekeeping.
Bummer. Bought a sweet tuner-amp there for less money than I paid for my old one 20 years ago.
A business model that was built upon the fact that electronic equipment was unfamiliar to most Americans and so they needed help and guidance to understand it. For the most part this is moot for most of the public.
Is this a polite way of saying they are closing stores in areas where people are walking out of the store without paying for the merchandise?
