#BestBuy #BlackFriday Shenanigans

If I were to tell you that Best Buy only let 25 customers inside their huge store at a time and made everyone else wait outside in a line, would you believe me?  Well please read the letter I wrote to Best Buy's rep for my region Ryan Stanzel.

Hello Mr. Stanzel,

On the evening of November 26th 2015, Thanksgiving Day, The Best Buy located in the Hamburg Mall area of Lexington Kentucky opened its doors for the annual Black Friday Sale.  I drove 45 miles one way to this location and arrived at 7pm on purpose so that I would not have to stand outside in a long line.  It was quite surprising to see a line formed at the door AND seeing customers inside shopping.  So I approached two employees guarding the front entrance and asked them if the line was for a specific item that may have been part of the Black Friday door buster sale.  The answer I got was that they were only allowing 25 customers in the store at a time.  I found this extremely disappointing and completely against everything that has become the Black Friday shopping spirit...I mean why would a business CHOOSE to keep paying customers outside?  On a normal busy day in that Best Buy, there could be easily 50 customers roaming the establishment.  So then I snapped a couple of photos of the scene and proceeded to take to social media on Twitter and Facebook about what I had just witnessed.  It only took a few minutes for someone named "Alex" from Best Buy Support on Twitter to reply that they had no idea what was going on and asked if I talked to a manager.  I told them I spoke to two front door employees and then indicated to that support person that I had sent WKYT, the CBS affiliate in Lexington, KY, a tweet about this situation since I wasnt the only one there that was upset.  Later I found out that the Best Buy store in Lexington located off of Nicholasville Road did not use a similar policy with their customers.  So I guess my inquiry to you is, What is Best Buy prepared to do with the Manager that obviously went rogue and instituted a store capacity limit leaving many to wait needlessly outside, AND What is Best Buy prepared to do to make things right for the Customers?

Attached is the photos I took along with the corresponding tweets I had with Best Buy Support.




UPDATE:
Best Buy contacted me on Facebook and sent me this...Basically they think I should handle this myself with the Store...

Idiots Equating #Lexington KY "Riots" to #Ferguson MO #Riots

Well not only did the majority of the nation's NCAA brackets turned to dust including that of President Obama, but we have the lunatic fringe left equating the crowd with their small fires on State Street in Lexington Kentucky with that of the Ferguson Missouri Riots that began last August!

Yes the Kentucky Wildcats ended the season with a 38-1 Record after losing to Wisconsin in the semi final game of the NCAA Tournament,  Yes people in Lexington took to the nearby streets such as State Street and set some small ground fires.  Yes people broke some laws.  Yes the lunatic fringe on the left are demanding that this be called a riot and demand that the media report it as such and demand that the police use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.

No looting, no cars on fire, no #HandsUpDontShoot chants, no Molotov cocktails being launched, No one busing in antagonists,  no Al Sharpton, no Eric Holder, No Media Blitz!

Sorry Liberal Left, but there is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NO WAY that what took place in Lexington Kentucky after Kentucky got beat could even rationally be equated to the social disorder that took place in Ferguson Missouri last August after a thug decided to try to fight a cop and try to take his weapon away from him.
