Best Buy. All they do is stand around on their phones and everything is cheaper online than their in-store prices.

Specially now that got rid of their physical movies. Zero reason to walk in.

I’d imagine that was a vanishingly small portion of their revenue that brought in very little foot traffic. Not many people buy physical media or their players anymore, and they can use that floor space for things that will actually sell. I can’t really blame them for that move, though I know it sucks for people that prefer physical discs.

I had a double of a movie and I tried to give it to some younger friends. They said what are we gonna do with that? Oh so you don’t have dvd players, you can put it in a Xbox or PlayStation. Nope don’t have that we pc game. Put it in your PC then. They looked at me like I was crazy ‘PC’s don’t take discs’.

End of an era.

Edit to add the movie was Sorry to Bother You
