It definitely seems that Circuit City is trying to be Best Buy. Can't blame them though in feeling jealous. Best Buy has been incredibly successful.

Theres no Circuit Citys local here, I've never been to one. I like Best Buy. Maybe it's not an ideal place to work but it sure is a great place to buy. Huge selection, large quanities.

You got that right. I love Best Buy as a store. However, as an employer, they can be rather anal. Well, they know what they expect of their employees and I guess that's more than some places. Of course, it all depends on who your boss is.

Yeah, it always seems that Circuit City is a little more expensive than Best Buy. I like Best Buy's atmosphere better anyway.

While best buy isnt bad, it my local one always seems to be crowded and poorly organized...I love Circuit City...much neater layout...they have these little rooms where you can just sit and relax and watch TV or whatever...and their selection of games and whatnot is just as good as Best Buy's.

My main love for Best Buy is their music selection. More often than not, I can actually find cds I want there. If it's not at Best Buy, then I start going to the record stores. Not to mention, the price is usually right. Rarely do I have to pay more than $13 for a cd at Best Buy.

I am among the poor souls that do not have a Circuit City or a Best Buy near them. I have shopped at both and I am currently more satisfied with Best Buy. Wouldn't know about the employee aspect though.

It's one of those Canadian things. We're probably better off not knowing. ;)

heeeeeey what do you mean by that???...:p

actually I meant to say FutureShop, which is a major electronics store that people figure is more upscale to Best Buy in comparsion.
