I am writing under an alias. We, my wife and I, have just experienced (at Best Buy, Carbondale, Il), the WORST possible customer service. We purchased a Kitchen Aid dishwasher that has not worked since the day we bought it and we have tried, in vain, to get the situation addressed - originally calling the store just after the purchase date. We have been given the run around for 9 months, ever since - and including - the original call. Finally we had had enough and my wife and I tried to rectify the situation by phone. That was a disaster. One employee actually had the audacity to ignore me - even put the phone down - every time I tried to explain our difficulty. When I directly asked her a question I had to wait about 15 seconds for a reply that indicated that she had no understanding of anything that I had said. Another employee incessantly, and incredibly rudely, spoke OVER me, YELLING the same irrelevant mantra ("this is our policy") every time I tried to explain why the store's policy did not relate to our scenario. I felt like I was the victim of old-fashioned school-boy bullying, and this from a team of "professionals". We were forced to speak to the corporate office to have our story heard and to get an appropriate response. Hopefully the Best Buy corporate office will address what is going on at Carbondale.
