Post your worst experiences with Bestbuy (geeksquad), Circuit City, CompUSA,... Only major stores.
Here is one with Best Buy.
At my shop, we dont sell computers, just advice and labor. The closest store to buy a replacement/upgrade computer is Best Buy, and frequently they have the best deals on mid-range budgets. Well, we see a lot of very old computers, and therefor, send a lot of people to BB.
A Best Buy manager visited our store and threatend to sue us if we kept sending people over to buy computers because they were losing their reputation as having the ability to fix machines, and they were losing money on comptuers because there were no labor charges in the sales.. and they never buy stuff they dont need (cause we tell them not too). I believed he called his threat Unlawfull Slander of Reputation. Later, we got all kinds of corporate "doings" such as the IRS came by. The labor bord came by. Health inspectors have dropped by too.
And we still tell customers to go buy at BB, just mention our name when you make the purchase.. and they do... Funny things.
