| - I read these reviews before walking in, but I went in to buy a memory card for my camera because I didn't have a choice. I don't understand what the problem is. First of all, half of the people who left reviews never even entered the store and bought anything. Second, yes I paid a little more than I would if I was back home, but what doesn't cost more on the Las Vegas strip? They at least compensate with their expertise and knowledge about cameras and everything else that they offer for sale. Good luck getting any reasonable information from those high school grads who work at Best Buy.
You're in one of the busiest and most expensive tourist destination in the country! You know how much they must pay for rent just to be there? If you come to Las Vegas to shop for a bargain, then there is obviously something wrong with you! The store is there for your convenience so that you can buy what you need now instead of later. Know the cost of what you want before walking in and spending an hour of a person's time and then comparing prices. It's not fair. Of course online it's cheaper, but do you think online sellers will waste their time to teach you about cameras and photography? No way! Time is money.
Finally, I asked the salesperson why they don't have a refund policy. He explained that when they did, tourists would come in and buy cameras, chargers and memory cards just to use for a few days on their vacation and then bring it back when they didn't need it anymore. I think that makes a lot of sense.
Anyway, I go shopping for big ticket items knowing what I want and how much I need to pay. If the price is right, I buy it and I leave; if it isn't, I thank the salesperson and I kindly walk away. The process takes 30 seconds. I never walk into a store for a free one-hour lesson from a person who doesn't get paid by the hour. It's common courtesy. That's why they are SALESpeople and not teachers.
