Reasons not to do business with Best Buy

I've been boycotting Worst Buy for 4 years now... since we bought a new washer and dryer from them, the delivery guys *dragged* the hose along the driveway, scraping a hole into it, set it up anyways, "tested" it, thereby flooding my laundry room, came and told ME that they had flooded my laundry room and that I'd have to clean it up, then told me that they couldn't get back with a replacement part for a week and a half and that they would have to charge me for it, because clearly, the hose had been fine when they brought it...!!!

We ended up driving to their parts warehouse, picking up a new hose, installing it ourselves, and resolving never to do business with them again.

Good grief. I think I'd have been inclined to present them with a damages bill for the cleanup.
