A lot of stores will find that they don't need all that retail space.
Have you been in a Best Buy lately? It’s like a mini mall for other companies. Samsung and Apple and Microsoft reps and more with dedicated store space for brands. Best Buy fills a need for a place to go buy mid to high tier electronic products locally. Almost nobody else does that nationally.

If you have an Amazon job, keep it before you get your money and career up. In the retail world an amazon job is gonna get even more coveted because they are one of the few companies that won’t be damaged by the pandemic and actually have become more coveted

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.

Nah bruh, I think you're wrong on that. Target is higher than all 3 of them if you're talking in terms of electronics. Also, BB will price match most stuff if you find the item you want at another store/site for a cheaper price. The best time to shop though at Best Buy is around weekends or when they have those Big 3 day sale events.

Amazon and Walmart don't have the same buying power with electronics as Best Buy. Best Buy specializes in electronics and also carries better quality products and have a wider selection too.

Ehh...
I don’t want to have to work to get a lower price. Ain’t got time for that.
Make the price lower off the bat like Amazon/Walmart, or I’m not gonna fukking go to your store. Work for my dollars, not the other way around.
:yeshrug:
price match?:childplease: What is this 2003?

Uhh, no it wouldn’t. You’re thinking too small

1.Drastically reduced retail staff. (and their associated insurance and benefits)
2 Drastically reduced managerial staff (and their associated insurance and benefits)
3.Drastically reduced heating/cooling/lighting/maintenance costs
4. Main thing...A service that’s actually more desirable. ( big screen TVs and shyt delivered to your house in under an hour...no one else is doing that, not even Amazon) more desirable product/service = greater sales,
5. And hell thinking bigger,they could lease a fleet of EVs/plug-in hybrids for delivery. use the wasted space on their big ass fukking roofs for solar panel charging. Government tax incentives + ability to sell back electricity into the grid = accelerated payback.

keep up, breh...
