"Well, isn't that...special!"

BestBuy sucks anyway. Clark Howard notes WalMart is coming after them this year on electronics (price, supply). And, can clean their clock on price. Only store worse the BestBuy is Circuit City.
Very well, then. I will be respectful of their wishes and not buy anything from them.
Circuit City
Circuit City seems best. I've done business with both and CC gets top grades in my book.
It seems that BB WANTs our money but is not willing to identify our holiday..for some unknown reason.
I suspect loads of pressure from islamics and secularists.
I tried this and email bounced back through them so I found another email address for spokesperson.
I hope Islamics like hdtv....lol.
Love the letter! Especially the closing note:
"a Best Buy account holder taking a Christmas break from shopping at Best Buy"
I was literally going to go to Best Buy tonight to buy an HDTV.
Now I have decided to buy on the Internet only.
It is my Christmas Present to the amoral bigots at Best Buy.
By the way their Geek Squad service center is an unbelievable rip off!
... by acknowledging none of them?
Ranked best HDTV is Visio.
Sams club has great online price.
I call BS on this.
I bought a Sirius radio installed from them a couple of years ago. Last week, the mount came loose, so I took it back and asked them to fix it.
I went to pay and the guy said, forget it!
So I tipped him 10 bucks.
Best Buy has poor inventory control and often doesn't have the merchandise on display. You see it, thyey bring it on Thursday when the truck runs
You buy it they order it
We shop there for many Christmas gifts, but we will not be shopping there this year for Holiday gifts.
Emailed Dawn whosis explaining that holiday shopping is nothing that we will be participating in. We will be busy Christmas shopping.
Any company adopting a "Merry Christmas" ban is clearly, intentionally demonstrating hostility to Christians. Not too mention it's just petty, stupid, and politically correct. The majority of this nation celebrate Christmas.
If you're running a business and you want to make using the words "Merry Christmas" an issue/problem- go ahead. But you won't be getting my business. I buy Christmas presents, not "Holiday" presents.
And Wal Mart announced they are acknowledging the Christmas season by advertising as such. No more Happy Holidays.
I think this anti-Christmas thing is going overboard, and I'm Jewish.
Look, I don't want government or public schools forcing some religious belief on me, and I don't want to face proselytizing at work.
But if a private business wants to celebrate Christmas in an overhwelmingly Christian country, why shouldn't they?
Now, I live in an area where a lot of stores choose not to do it, due to large South Asian (Hindu and Muslim), East Asian (Buddhist and atheist, some Christian) and Jewish customer bases.
But in a more religiously homogenous area, if this is what people overwhelmingly celebrate, then I see know reason why a store can't say that. If it bothers someone that much, they can shop elsewhere or on-line.
"Well, isn't that...special!"
Bravo Zulu! shipmate.
Advertising for Best Buy reminds me of the old carny pitches, "Come and get it," "once in a lifetime," "never before seen," "the opportunity of a lifetime," "best deal ever." Anyone who shops because of those pitches and thinks he's getting any kind of good deal, is a total and complete sucker. Buying online from manufacturers is infinitely wiser if you want to get what you want to get, rather than some discontinued, end-of-the-line, possibly damaged item which, to your surprise, does not meet the terms of return, in spite of what you may have been led to believe.
