Best Buy A Bust
I visited our new Best Buy store, here in Martinsburg, WV. It was a very sad and sick joke. As a Mac user, I was hoping I'd be able to shop locally for my hardware needs, including accessories. It was pretty clear walking out of there that they didn't want my money.
No Macs. Just cheap crap. No Firewire 800 drives in the store either. Simply pathetic. With how well the MacBook Pro is selling today, that's a fist full of stupid.
As if it really matters, here's what I sent them through their contact form:
I visited your new store in Martinsburg, WV today and I have to say I was terribly disappointed. Martinsburg is 2 hours from the nearest Apple store in Tyson's Corner, VA and you wasted an excellent opportunity by not selling Mac hardware or meaningful accessories for that platform. I was prepared to spend lots of our money shopping locally had you seized this chance to serve the Mac community out here.
Now, when I look at your new store, I have nothing to say but, "so what."
It didn't have to be that way.
Their "Contact Us" page did not work properly in Safari 4 either. I think it may be time for the Mac community to band together and boycott that company all together.
