Best Buy smells horrible.
They always had a specific smell...I don't know if it's the merchandise they carry, or the construction materials they use to build all of their stores, but they all smell the same.
Today, however...holy shitballs, dude. I ended up in 3 different Best Buys today, and their smell was so strong, it hit me like a ton of bricks. My eyes watered, my sinuses burned, and at the 3rd one...the one that actually had what I wanted...I left my credit card there and asked them to ring it up and bring it out to me on the sidewalk because I had to get out of there.
I've never ever been sensitive to things like that. New upholstery, fresh paint, new carpet...never bothered me at all. The first thing I'd do when I opened new electronic equipment was to take a big whiff. *laughs* Yes, I know it's horribly toxic as it's just plastic off-gassing, but I love it.
This, though...whole new level. I was just there to buy hard drives (I'd rather buy them from a store where product is delivered on a truck, than having it delivered to my door via UPS which say you need to package your items to survive a 6ft drop.) I don't see myself going back even though Frys is a half hour away, and I live within 20 minutes of 3 Best Buys.
