FWIW my local best buy is infected with cellphone cases, earbuds, usb cables, and other disposable technology designed to transfer money from you to big tech.

FWIW, if you grew up, like I did with just a Circuit City, or worse yet, neither,....Then you can appreciate Best Buy as a modern Utopia of Awesomeness...Computers, Anime, DVDs, CDs, Video Games...Of course it's been quite a while since I was in one, LOL! (And yes, I know they can't hardly "sell" things like movies and music anymore because nobody pays for them...)

I grew up when electronics shops were real electronics shops with 8-tracks and CB and walkie-talkies. Not to mention walls of discrete resistors and capacitors. When ICs were in metal cans or stamped wireframe. The Pong era!
When red led calculators were a technological miracle. When magazines ran articles about their accuracy. When a KIM-1 seemed to have AI capability in the "Mike" robot project.
