I kinda feel like Best Buy is the same as it's always been and our baseline expectations of how much a store should have skyrocketed. In 2006 I didn't shop for electronics by doing intensive online research to find the specific brand and model I want; I drove to Best Buy and picked whatever made the most sense out of what they had.
- JohnFen 8mo agoAt least the ones in my area are substantially worse than they used to be. They don't have a lot of items they used to carry, and the ones they do carry have a much more limited selection than they used to. But perhaps, as another commenter mentioned, this varies a lot depending on the store you're in? Regardless, at least for my needs, Best Buy has nearly nothing for me. That didn't used to be true.
- kevin_thibedeau 8mo agoTheir stores have much more unused floorspace now. CDs and DVDs are mostly gone. Lots of dead space around the phone displays now.
- bryanlarsen 8mo agoMy Best Buy is far more crowded than it used to be. They use the aisles for boxed TV's etc.
- vel0city 8mo agoThe store closest to me repurposed about half of its floor space as pretty much warehouse space for online orders. They even repurposed half the doors for pickup/return lockers.
