Is Best Buy the single worst-run company in the history of the world?

Are you kidding? AJ is pretty crazy!
I meant as a retailer... and I'll refrain from comment on anyone else's craziness... -
So far, but I've already found a spot of him in Rio Hato.

Little storefront, plenty of parking, right on the PanAmerican.
@Bob-Beatty knows the place I'm talking about, next to the coffee shop on the north side of the highway.

Dear Best Buy, you've outdone yourself.
After more research and looking the exact model up by code in other suppliers, it turns out that the laptop Best Buy sold me is imaginary. It's made up. The model I ordered actually IS 24GB of RAM, both on Amazon and Asus.com, and they don't sell a 256GB PCIe SSD, 4720HQ, 980M laptop w/ 32GB of RAM, they're all 24.
So Best Buy is just listing the lapto they are selling w/ 8GB more RAM than it actually has anywhere on Earth in the real world. I've been duped by the ineptitude of their web developers yet again.
Fool me once...
The worst part is the 2 accessible slots are taken, so in the inaccessible slots there's just one empty, so I can't even upgrade to 32 myself.
F, ML my friends. F. M. L.
Crazy AJ sells the 32GB model.... but shipping from Panama can be steep.
There's a 32GB model w/ a 512GB PCIe SSD, but it's $3000. It's not the one I'm talking about.
(there's not an actual Crazy AJ...)
Hahahaha. Was multitasking and the Panama bit made me believe you.

I heard Crazy AJ was in cahoots w/ Subway dude and just took a plea deal on some child sex charges. I bet his prices will rock bottom here soon.

No I actually told him that he should come down here. There is a perfect spot for a show right in the midst of the resorts. Lots of opportunity to service the people hitting the beach. Mostly laptop and phone support.

Tiger Direct is a popular brick and mortar electronics store up here that went from online to first person retail. They usually don't suck. Ditto NCIX, a darling of the Vancouver tech sales scene.
That's funny. I had no idea they had in-person stores. I actually bought my first electronics device ever from them, it was a Toshiba pocket PC. All I remember about Tiger Direct is that they require rebates on most items I've ever shopped for to even get close on competitive prices and that their return policy was scary. It's interesting that they branched out to in-person. Where are you again?
I applied at one in Texas. XD

I don't really want to move to Panama...LOL

Besides, the idea makes me think of this:

And as a side note, how the hell did we get on this whole "Crazy A.J." thing anyways?!

When you live in a rural area. You are stuck if you need something now. Our choices here are Staples (which never has anything in stock), Office Max which is worse, Walmart or Best Buy. That's it. Unfortunately BB usually has what I need. But I always look elsewhere first. I have gotten some great deals through them a couple times but on things like monitors or cables, hard drives that kind of thing.
I order things from Amazon 99% of the time (seriously) the UPS or FED Ex guy are here every day of the week.

Having been to Australia about 20 years ago, I would go. Not everything is trying to kill you. While I spent most of the time along the coast - Sydney to Caines - it is a only really once you start to head to the bush that you 'need to worry'.
Besides,.. I love the accent.

That's because that's where their margins are
Amazon with a prime membership is probably the best thing ever.
