| - Since I am living near Downsview, this Best Buy is fairly close and within walking distance. Given the beautiful weather today, we decided to take a stroll over to this "Big Box Park" which includes Costco, Michaels, Home Depot and LCBO?".
After getting turned away from Costco for not having a membership card (apparently not allowed to see what's inside before joining), we ventured over to Best Buy as we are in the market for a new laptop. I have always hesitate to go inside "Big Box" retailers since they try to push extended warranties. It has been as clear as day to me or as clear as staying away from Bottle Rats in the club.
To my surprise, we were able to get service fairly quickly on a busy Easter Saturday despite the store being quite busy. Further, the guy who helped us was knowledgeable and gave good advice on the 3 computers we were comparing... Of course, the extended warranty came up and he gave it a small push, but didn't outdo it. I know that get higher commissions on selling that garbage, so I did appreciate him giving it a shot, but backing off when we clearly weren't interested... Result - a Laptop and a new "42 inch LG Television... Best Buy 1, Costco 0
Will definitely return to this store in the future given it's excellent selection and great service. It is much better than the Future Shop over at Yonge & Sheppard in terms of selection and service which we had checked out the week prior.
