BEST BUY: THE BIG BOX FIGHTS BACK on CNBC

[bigjimslade]

Last night CNBC had a brand new one hour documentary on Best Buy and it was great. They have tons of interviews with Brian Dunn who is Best Buy's CEO. He is one of the most open CEO's out there and gives CNBC alot of access. If you do miss Black Friday you can relive it as the documentary opens up with this years Black Friday. The CEO also addresses the early openings this year.

 

Below is the webpage for the show and times when it will be on THIS WEEKEND. This is a must watch.

They do need it there were ALOT of VERY angry ppl after they screw up on BF..... It it was about that disaster I would have watched but ..... They willl never have my business again ( even if Ii didn't get anything on BF )... It is the trust issue.

Quite noticeable that they didn't address the out of stock issue or cancellations...I was impressed with the Geek Squad section but not much else.
