I had a meeting at their corporate HQ (I do not work for Bestbuy) last week - they actually ask you to empty your pockets of any metal and then have you walk through a metal detector - I set off the alarm, not sure why, but when I offered to walk through again the "guard" brushed me away and handed me my briefcase - which he never asked to look through.
Perceived security at its best!

Why does the mafia need security? They probably thought you were one of the crew.

You should of complained about the security guard, he wasn't doing his job.

I worked at the Roseville Best Buy store from 2001-2006. When the carry law was passed in 2003, the signs went up. At the time, they made me feel safer (stupid and ignorant, I know).
I worked in the service dept. and dealt with irate customers on a regular basis. I remember thinking, "Well, at least they're not armed."
After a year or so, the signs came down.

Good point, I noticed that while at Best Buy the other day. I guess they just want to 'protect' their corporate employees!
