I wish my Best Buys were like that. Anytime I go in most of the small and messy inventory is mis-marked, I can’t find a free representative, and the prices are often 20% if not 50% more for functionally equivalent products.

It’s a shame, in high school me and my nerdy friends would stop in often enough to check out new gear. Now we just swap Amazon links.

Yeah, it’s disappointing compared to how it was in the mid 90s/early 2000s. It was one of my favorite stores as a teen. Luckily for me I live close enough to a MicroCenter which still has the old school electronics store magic.
Microcenter is glorious. I love peaking my head in when I'm in the Philly or Cleveland area. I usually save my PC building trips just to go there.
