I'm seeing troublesome signs in a lot of places as well.

That being said Best Buy isn't going to last forever. Brick and mortar businesses will continue to topple throughout our life times

I think Best Buy the company is doing okay. If you look into it their revenue is actually still very strong it's just all shifted to e-commerce so the need for retail stores is much less. Jobs have become obsolete to technology.

The jobs they cut are basically replaced by truck driver jobs.

Is this political?

Indeed it is. The last thing I want is for certain posters on this site to come on here and paint a rosy picture of the jobs report and the economy. Thus, I take it upon myself to inform the rest of you esteemed gentlemen the truth on what's happening right now, and in this case, at a Best Buy near you. I wish I had better news to report, but with this information I have provided, I hope it reaches the necessary ears and eyes and perhaps maybe one day soon, preferably after November, we can start to see actual good news on jobs and the economy for once.

So ISH political. Between you and a certain other poster. Makes sense.

I am amazed that this place still exists, it must be entirely propped up by boomers...

The last time I went to bestbuy (5+ years ago) I just needed a simple mini usb charging cable... and these blue shirt wearing **** only had 1 version of this cable in stock and they wanted $30 for it. I ended up buying one for $5 on amazon.

One company that is getting destroyed by Amazon & online retail is cutting store jobs.. Okay? What's the point of this thread again? Does this somehow draw a picture that we are in one of the most significant recessions in history?

Their geek squad service might be keeping them afloat, but yeah, surprising that they are still around.

Great post.

It is sad how some do not understand the relationship between business and politics but still think their opinions and votes are superior than others...
