Best Buy knows a Bad Buy

I prefer to read stuff in the paper in the morning. Perhaps it's because I'm in the business, I don't know.

That being said, while I received the Best Buy ad in the paper this morning, I was more crushed by the disappearance of the Circuit City circular (say that three times fast). I've been boycotting Best Buy since the purchase of a defective computer and phone in one week a couple years back.

 

And here I thought this thread was about their policy to no longer stock Lindsey Lohan movies.

Hmm, the day will come eventually.

I hope.

 

Other places are doing this as well, notably Hobby Lobby and Michael's. Both used to have 40 percent off the purchase of a single item, and for that reason alone, my ex and I would get the Sunday paper. Now that both stores do the same via email, one of my big reasons for getting the Sunday paper is now gone.

Bad for the business, to be sure, but from a reader perspective, it makes a lotta sense.

 

Had both BB and CC circs in yesterday's paper.
Sounds like they're experimenting in certain markets.

 

They are zoned in my paper. I get Best Buy and Target in my part of town because there's one about 10 miles away..

You have to go 20-25 miles for Circuit City/Staples/OfficeMax-Depot. And other than a rare occasion from one of the office's, I haven't seen one since Christmas. But friends in other parts of town get them weekly.

 

God bless you for supporting our industry!

Damn few like you!

 

Horse buggies didn't survive automobiles like they survived the advent of bicycles.

 

It's NEXT week that it will be online only. Easter Sunday.

 

Kind of curious that Hobby Lobby messes with Sunday inserts, since they're on the Chick-fil-A business model.

 

damn, i wish i'd have "heard" that one about four years ago. my old publisher would have wanted to punch me, but i still would have delivered that line.
