I have always enjoyed shopping at Best Buy, and they always seemed to have employees who enjoyed their jobs. That was until I recently visited a store in Denver.
There was a noticable change from the relaxed employee atmosphere, and when I saw one young lady obvoiusly quite sick, I asked her "why aren't you home taking care of yourself?"
I was shocked by her answer. She said the new manager would fire her if she was out sick, and that another girl even went to the emergency room, but was told she "had better be on the job the next day"
It is management like this example that gives all Best Buy stores a bad rep. "Pushing the numbers" is more important than employee health, or the risk to customer's health being exposed to their illnesses.
The Best Buy management in Denver is obviously where the real illness is. Ill management is soon reflected in employee performance, and attitude. If you go into a Denver Best Buy store wear a surgical mask, and be kind to the employees... They are not allowed to wear them when they are forced to work visibly sick.
