I always try to go inside anyways so there is no chance of getting "blown off" which hasn't happened to me on the phone but it is easier to go in and directly deal with it.
There are always associates standing around but you don't answer the phone. Nice.
Every time I've been to Best Buy they have been really busy with customers. I also know they have signs up in the store to hire more help. Sorry you had a problem.
