Best Buy Customer Gets Box Full of Bathroom Tiles Instead of Hard Drive

The Consumerist is reporting that a Best Buy customer recently purchased a hard drive only to discover that the box contained six ceramic bathroom tiles instead of the Western Digital drive he had expected. The rub of it is Best Buy is refusing to grant a refund or exchange for the non-existent drive. "The employee and assistant manager were more than willing to help, saying that it happens. So they set up the return and I repurchased the drive and while I was checking the contents to ensure it was a hard drive this time, the store manager came up, took the box from me and said to take it up with the manufacturer. Now to my surprise, I argued with the guy saying that they have already accepted the return and I have now purchased the new one. He said I was shit out of luck. I followed up with the manufacturer today and they said they would get the complaint to the Best Buy Purchasing department. Best Buy corporate said that they stand by their manager's decision."

They destroyed the power harness in my Eagle Talon, when I had them install a CD deck. They claimed it was the fault of the repair shop troubleshooting. What the f(*&-ever...Worst Buy. They will owe me 300 bucks if I gotta bust windows...darnit! I have not forgotten this, and they will pay; for I am from the HOOD!!! Just waiting until I seriously need money. I will hit them up with every trick known to mankind. Bet the m*&^-f(*&^* house on that!

Hear, hear.

"Worst Buy" isn't even worthy of being deemed wordplay. It's like an "Oh yeah... well you're a... a... WORST Buy!" quip that a three-year-old would be ashamed of making up. At the very least, go for something remotely clever... Detest Buy, Busted Buy, anything... something that shows a spark, a glimmer, some sign of having composed for a moment.

Why, "M$" shines like a jewel, a glimmering beacon of wit in the face of "Worst Buy". (Although, I've got to say, "Bad Vista" does manage to sound a little bit dumber. That's about where it stands on the scale.)
