I worked at the Westwood, CA Best Buy, just long enough to qualify for the employee discount, buy a bunch of stuff for me and my friends, and then bail. I worked in the "Digital Imaging" section (think: digital cameras and assorted accessories). I can't complain too much...the discount was meh. Working in this Best Buy meant I got to see two celebs in the store (Alan Alda just off his West Wing Emmy nom), Ryan Phillipe, and a pre-HIMYM Neal Patrick Harris at the Harris Teeter.

I'm getting hired at best buy. I want to buy a new phone no-contract price - are their no-contract phones discounted for employees?

Asked by Jabari about 10 years ago

I don't know for sure, but my guess is that they wouldn't be discounted very much. When I worked there, you were sold items at a markup above cost as the employee discount. So if the item was a large margin item, you could get a huge discount. My guess is that the non-contract phones don't have a huge discount because their margins are probably thin.

How much will it cost if i want to buy the game overwatch on ps4 during the upcoming black friday event, i also would like to know if i can get it for cheaper if my friend works thier and buys the game for me, how much will it cost....base price: $60

It has been years since I worked at Best Buy, but my belief is that the employee discount will be minimal, if there is one. you are likely better off simply buying it at the BF event. You can ask your friend how much less it would be, but software like console videogames typically have very low markups. Much more money is made on used videogames and accessories, like cables.

can i play the Xbox one using my Logitech PC controller?

Please note I don't currently work at Best Buy - i only once did. I would recommend using the Internet to answer this type of question, with the search engine of your choice, such as Google.
