You dodged a bullet there. When we come out of this I fully expect Amazon to be the world's largest retailer.

Arent they already

How is Office Depot able to be open like nothing, but Best Buys are all closed.

Alot brick and mortar stores not gone make it. More people buying online while they are at home. Them habits gone be hard to break

People aren’t buying anything is the problem

Furlough does not mean laid off

they can claim unemployment while gone..and then get back to work afterwards

it means no paycheck

Prices typically higher than Amazon/Walmart...

Big ass, high ceiling having ass retail spaces...

So much fukking inventory...

They should simply turn their stores into showrooms/warehouses and offer free same-day delivery to all Customers within a 15 mile radius.

they’re not going out of business

Yep,.. I’ve been furloughed before and while it’s not fun, I didn’t lose my job which was the most important thing. Best Buy got to do better with them prices too though. Giving us the ability to research sites and other stores for better prices did not help best but at all.. I can go to damn near any other store site and find better prices than theirs.

fukking stores look like airport hangars and shyt:

Got damn

They supply corporate clients with office supplies. They will have to lay off some people due to reduced foot traffic in their stores but nah, they ain't going out of business.

When has TLR ever let facts get in the way of a believable narrative?

People still shop at Best Buy I thought Amazon pretty much replaced them to be honest I ain't been inside a Best Buy in years.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

Damn is this circuit city all over again?

fukk no. If you actually READ the article it says their sales were doing fine until the nationwide shutdown. And it says it’s bringing back these people when they open back up.

I was at Best Buy a couple years ago and they match Amazon prices if you can bring it up on your phone.
