| - I had a good experience at Best Buy today. It may sound shocking, but it's true!
A decade ago, I worked in Scarborough. I used to hang around this area often. This Best Buy wasn't built just yet.
I have only been here a handful of times. The last time was simply waiting for my driving instructor to pick me up for my lesson. I was learning how to drive a manual car and we met at this parking lot a couple of years ago.
I normally visit the Best Buy in Markham, as it's slightly closer to my home than this one. However, the item that I had reserved was not available there. It was at this location.
I reserved my item last night. I got a confirmation by e-mail fifteen minutes later. I went to pick it up this morning at around 11:15 am.
This Best Buy is beautiful since I last stepped foot. I was greeted by an enthusiastic man. Everything looked slick and well-organized. I stopped by the smartwatch section and was pleased to see a decent selection of both hybrid smartwatches and pure smartwatches.
The order pick-up area is at the back of the store, on the left when you first walk in. A woman was there to take my name and asked what I was picking up. I indicated that it was a DVD collection. She found it, I paid, and I walked out the door.
My transaction took two minutes at the most. I was pleased. I like fast, accurate, efficient transactions.
On my way out, I got a little bag for my purchase. The friendly man wished me a good day. I reciprocated.
The downside is that if you are driving eastbound along Progress Avenue, there is no left turn lane to get directly into the parking lot. You either need to go a bit further and make a u-turn, or go into Walmart and come back out. I did the latter and was good.
It was nice visiting a modern Best Buy. I guess that I should stop going to the ones in the suburbs and discover others!
