The Best Buy at Ceasars Bay mall at Bay Parkway and Shore Parkway are not people friendly, customer friendly or nice. Unless you are foolish and just overpay and plop down a lot of money on items you can get for less. Then they love you. They have the worst sales people and the crappiest store managers in all of the U.S. Do not buy from them or you will be sorry.
For one, we just moved into the area, bought a house and we need: TV's, appliances, bedding, etc. On the TV, Maybe spend about 6 or 7 thousand, we wanted a good one.
However, on our preliminary visit to this best buy store. We went there just to get a phone for my son. The salespeople in the phone dept are just looking for commissions, not really there to help you buy what you need. And the phone that we wanted was priced less online. But they would not honor their price match bs. I say bs because that's all it is. Apparently, they keep changing their policy and will now only price match with their own selective stores that they decide they want to. Whereas you can get it online or anywhere else that sells it cheaper. And their attitude is that they just "don't care." "Can't comply with what i'm telling you? okay, bye, and next customer."
So I asked for the store manager, at that time, Mr. Pergida (spelling is not exactly correct). He was nasty, rude, ill mannered, aggressive and stupid. His attitude is basically, you are here, buy it here or get it somewhere else cheaper. That's our policy, take it or leave it. He has poor communication skills, no customer service skills, and is an extremely poor rep for best buy and the Bensonhurst community. He sounds like a fast talking, double talking, evasive, used car salesman. He is loosing this store a lot of business and is very near sighted in his approach to keeping customers and making them happy.
The General Manager there is not going to provide much help either as they are buddy-buddies, and though not as rude as Pergida, he's just no help at all and has no interest.
Then, when you call customer service to complain, you are sent to Mexico or Central America, and no one there knows anything about where corporate is, who are the execs of this company, and who is the regional manager above these two jokers. They want to give the problem back to the same store where the two people running the store are the problem. So it never gets resolved.
I can envision this store going bankrupt at some point. Their whole corporate structure is collapsing. Please do not support this kind of establishment or any Best Buy store. Let them go bankrupt. There are many other electronics physical or online stores with excellent ratings and much better customer service that you can buy from. Google ratings or go to consumer reports online and you will get them. read more
