All he had to do was give you a piece of paper was some information on it and it could have all been avoided. I don't shop at best buy either, but only because Walmart and Amazon.com is cheaper...lol. That manager you was arguing with must have skipped the executive training sessions.

They seldom train them in it, so I'm not surprised that the manager became unstuck. It's always worth writing to the head office to let them know about it. Else the manager may strike again and your experience will be repeated for someone else. People skills like common decency is something that retail stores assume their managers have.

Sam Walton was the king of customer service. It sure is non-existent now at Wal-mart. What a great story if it is true. Sam Walton was the king of customer service.

I think poor customer service is much more common than we realize, it is almost as if people have come to expect it. @Miles :: Lol, that is funny about your friend. It seems many people have their little "things" about various companies/services. Thanks for sharing. @DeMerchant :: Thanks for stopping by!
