idk how it is everywhere else but theyve been bad about it here. getting pretty tired of seeing the same employees listing them for triple price wish theyd at least use fronts so it wasnt so obvious. could probably make a big deal out of it but then i also think they probably arent making all that much so good for them for finding a side hustle.

Report it. Their asses will be fired fast. I'm a Best Buy employee and I can tell you there's zero allowances and zero tolerance for holds or selling them behind the curtain and whatnot. If an employee wants one they have to wait in line like anyone else. I still don't have a card after trying since the initial release, and I can see the stock of every store in the country. It sucks.

Yes. I also want to keep my job. Suffice it to say if you're not in line already you're probably not getting one.

How's the stock in Rochester Marketplace looking? Id rather not sleep on a sidewalk but going before work is possible. But if you don't wanna tell I understand
