Best Buy Price Match Transcript
October 17th, 2017
Gage (07:57:18 PM) : Thank you for choosing Best Buy, my name is Gage. How may I assist you today?
Gage (07:57:59 PM) : I'll be happy to check if the item is eligible for price matching. If it is, I can definitely help you complete your online purchase and get the lower price. To get started, may I please have the SKU or model number of the product? They can be found under the product description.
Gage (08:00:17 PM) : Thank you for providing the SKU number. Let me check if the product which you want to purchase is eligible for a price match.
Gage (08:00:58 PM) :
Thank you for staying online.
Gage (08:01:26 PM) :
Could you also help me with the competitor's website link?
David (08:02:18 PM) : https://smile.amazon.com/Seidio-SURFACE-Kickstand-Holster-Samsung/dp/B01DHFLV2K/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_g2609328962?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0&ie=UTF8
Gage (08:03:07 PM) :
Please allow me a minute while I check this for you.
Gage (08:06:45 PM) :
I'm validating these details please allow me a few more minutes.
Gage (08:08:47 PM) :
Thank you for staying online.
Gage (08:09:01 PM) :
Good news!
Gage (08:09:21 PM) :
We can go ahead and price match with the above product from Amazon.
Gage (08:09:46 PM) :
Would you like me to place an order?
David (08:10:14 PM)
: I have a gift card and a $10 certificate I need to use as well.
Gage (08:11:24 PM) : Sure, can you please verify the email address and the phone number on your BestBuy Account?
David (08:11:42 PM)
: 602-555-4321
Gage (08:12:19 PM) :
Let me pull up your account details.
Gage (08:12:56 PM) :
May I have your First and Last name?
Gage (08:14:40 PM) :
I would be glad to do that for you.
Gage (08:15:15 PM) :
Can I get the name of the store along with the Zip code?
Gage (08:17:29 PM) :
Pardon my ignorance.
Gage (08:18:29 PM) : I was able to pull up four accounts with the phone number. Can you please confirm the complete name on the account so that I can select the right one?
Gage (08:21:07 PM) :
There are two accounts under the name of (My Name) and the one is on (Wife's Name).
David (08:22:56 PM) : 4321 is the main account. Use that. I'm assuming one is 5555 and the other is 4321.
Gage (08:23:36 PM) :
We're using the right account.
David (08:24:05 PM)
: Sometimes she'll change the account to surprise me with something.
Gage (08:25:06 PM) :
Would you like me to enter the email address which you provided me earlier?
Gage (08:27:28 PM) :
Would you like me to use this phone number to get the notifications
602-555-4321?
Even though he claims he is using that number (my cell number for those that know it) he still ends up using our home phone number which we confirmed later. *smh*
Gage (08:29:34 PM) :
Could you please help me with the Gift card number and the pin?
David (08:31:05 PM)
: I also have a $10 on the account that expires in 4 days. I would like to use
that as well.
Gage (08:32:21 PM) : Alright! The order is paid completely by gift cards but still requires a billing address
Gage (08:33:43 PM) : I'm really sorry but I see there are no certificates on your account to display.
Ummmmmmm... what?!
Gage (08:37:19 PM) :
We have not heard from you for some time. Do you wish to continue to chat?
You haven't heard from me in four mins. Chill out dude. I waited for you, so show the same courtesy.
David (08:39:03 PM)
: says it expires on 10/21/17
Gage (08:42:22 PM) :
I'm really sorry to inform you that I see there are no reward certificate on
your account to display.
Gage (08:42:48 PM) :
Would you like to proceed to pay for this order with your Gift Card?
David (08:44:09 PM)
: Sure. I'm looking at it right now. Says "Show at register". Maybe I
gave you the wrong code. Try this: 0101 XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
David (08:44:17 PM)
: If that doesn't work, then yes we'll use the Gift Card.
Gage (08:44:47 PM) :
Let's me check again.
Gage (08:46:36 PM) :
I apologize, I see this code also does not work.
This is complete and utter BS. I literally called Best Buy after this interaction and asked them to use the $10 certificate he couldn't find. They had NO issues and credited my account not 5mins after I got on the phone.

Info (08:56:01 PM) :
This is a Queue transfer. This interaction was transferred by Maven, queue:
Cart and Checkout
David (08:47:00 PM)
: Okay that's fine. We've been in this chat for 45mins and I have other stuff
to attend to. Please use the gift card I provided.
Gage (08:53:10 PM) :
I'm applying the credit for the price match on your order please allow me a few
minutes.
Info (08:54:44 PM) : Gage has transferred this interaction.

Please pay attention to the timestamps. I was transferred to another agent without any knowledge of it. This was also while we were in the middle of a transaction. I'm betting this was shift change.

Tristan (08:58:28 PM) : The chat has got transferred due to a technical issue, could you allow me a couple of minutes while I see through the chat.
Technical issue? Really?! This is what you're going with???
David (09:00:54 PM)
: Also, we've been on what should have been a 15min conversation for an hour
now. Is there an issue I need to be aware of? I'm starting to lose patience.
Tristan (09:02:33
PM) : Could you please allow me 2-3 minutes, while I process the price match
for you.
Please note the timestamp here where he *begins* to process a price match to something that was already price matched previously by the other person. Please see above.

David (09:02:34 PM)
: I've provided a gift card that I know has the balance. I've provided a $10
certificate that shows on my account, yet Gage told me it doesn't exist. I'm
just really confused and frustrated at this point.
David (09:02:51 PM)
: Gage told me he already did that, but please go ahead.
Great.. thank y.. wait; Did what? Go ahead with what?

Tristan (09:04:51

Allow him 2-3 minutes after he initially tells me this 2 mins ago. See above.
David (09:06:11 PM)
: I would honestly appreciate being treated like a human at this point. Please
stop sending me canned responses.
By this time I'm starving, the wife is upset at me and frankly, I'm TIRED of the canned responses constantly.

Tristan (09:08:06
PM) : As it is a transferred chat, it is taking a bit more time than expected.
So, could you please stay online for a while, David?
So basically what you're saying is that you don't take any !@$%ing notes?! Seriously??? What happened to Gage? Do you not believe in notating what you've done with your customers?!

Tristan (09:14:23 PM) : Thank you David and I'm really sorry for the delay.
The delay?! It has literally been 13mins since you were *applying the refund to my account*.
David (09:20:32 PM)
: What is the issue?! Please advise or cancel my order. I don't understand why
it should take OVER an hour to do this. Literally almost 1.5hrs and go through
two agents. I really hope this is recorded. This is completely ridiculous and
no I'm not happy.
Tristan (09:22:49
PM) : I'm really very sorry for the inconvenience, David. I'm calculating the
refund amount. Could you please allow me some time.
Tristan (09:23:04
PM) : I'm almost done with the refund.
Tristan (09:26:22
PM) : We will need to calculate the tax as well.
Tristan (09:26:51
PM) : And it took a very long time to pull up your order details as my
system was slow. I hope you understand.
I'm so tired of the "my system is/was slow" BS answer. Own up to your incompetence.
Tristan (09:27:05
PM) : The great news is I have applied the credit on your account which is
$8.11
Great News! It only took you 25mins to do it... Ummmm AGAIN! :P
Great News! It only took you 25mins to do it... Ummmm AGAIN! :P
Tristan (09:28:17
PM) : You will receive an email confirmation.
Tristan (09:30:00 PM) : The $8.11 will be credited back to your Gift card, your gift card still has some balance.
David (09:31:00 PM) : $43.51 was the total. $8.11 being added back would mean I paid $35.40. What is the balance left currently?
Tristan (09:31:51
PM) : It will be shipped to your mentioned store.
David (09:31:56 PM)
: Okay, good.
Tristan (09:32:08
PM) : I really appreciate your patience.
Not my patience. You're lucky my wife didn't somehow find a way to strangle you over the phone as dinner has been ready for at least a half hour now. If she could have, believe me she would have.

David (09:33:45 PM) : Great! Looking forward to your response Tristan!
Tried my own canned response there. Apparently it's a thing in this conversation.
Tristan (09:35:07
PM) : The total balance will be $11.63
Tristan (09:35:27
PM) : It is including $8.11 refund and this refund will be credited within 3-5
business days.
Tristan (09:36:15
PM) : If your gift card had $43.51 before placing an order.
David (09:36:36 PM)
: I'm confused. That card had almost $130 on it prior to this sale. How many of
these were purchased??? No.. My gift card had much more than that before
placing the order.
Tristan (09:37:36
PM) : If you had more, please ignore the above calculation.
Seriously?! How about you just tell your customers you don't have that kind of access and you're pulling crap out of your butt like a damned angry monkey!
