Why is a Best Buy employee's opinion relevant? They hire teenagers off the street who don't know anything but are willing to talk all day like they do.
I used to work there, albeit years ago, but the amount of misinformation spewed by "product specialists" rivaled politics.
- draw_down 7y agoExactly, why is this person putting so much stock into what is said by a floor salesperson and a spokesperson?

- taurath 7y agoAt some level, they understand what people who go into best buy look for and buy. But those who work there usually have big personal preferences, so it may wash out. They are rarely the super casual user. At the very least they're not on commission (though they DO have sales targets, and sometimes those can be for specific brands). Best buy built their business on taking the commission model and not paying anyone commission.
- JohnClark1337 7y agoI'll always remember back when the rumors about the upcoming new Nintendo console (later known as Wii U) were circulating. A Best Buy employee saw me browsing the games and started talking about how the new Nintendo system would be twice as powerful as the Xbox 360 and PS3 combined. Also yeah, Chromebooks are cheap and limited. That's why they're good for kids and old people.
