Please tell me that you took that picture with a camera that you bought elsewhere rather than at the store...
If so you definitely need to send that to corporate, and tell them where you spent $200 or so to get the camera to take said picture.

The corporate office is now aware of the sign, they said they are looking into the matter, and apologized many times that I had such an experience.
They also told me "well I show lots of other Best Buys in your nearby towns". I explained that I was informed years ago that Best Buy had a Standard Operating Platform so that a customers experience is the same in every Best Buy you go into, so this one store is setting a precedent for all your other stores as they are making their own policy. How am I to know that another store will not turn around and say "your return policy is not valid here you need to take it to the store you purchased it at." They didn't have a response. :banghead:
And no I had to take the pic with my phone Im going to get the camera online most likely.

This is just a rhetorical question. I know it won't be answered any time soon, as so many other genetic deficiencies won't.

Ill wait till I hear back from the GM and/or get something in writing as if I go back there without clarification it could constitute trespassing.
Giving that the sign is removed perhaps this is going in the right direction, I believe an info packet should be given to the general manager to be passed down to her staff so that way they can properly educate the sheeple when there are complaints.

Did he say if corporate was going to get in touch with all of their stores and make sure they all follow this policy? If not this will be a hassle over and over again.
Good luck.

Ok seems BB is off the hook, I called cust relations back and they contacted the stores manager on duty who apologized for the incident stating their reaction was from a "gun incident in the store 2 days prior to me being there".
Since the customer relations people will not let you talk to the store I decided to swing by there on the way home for face to face confirmation and to ask them to inform the Jackson PD of their mistake in policy (with empty holster). She called her GM (Jen) to confirm she could, who told her not to as they are still held by mall policy. :banghead: I asked that a mall security representative come down to the store to help clear this up....
30 min later...
The mall guard shows up, I explain I was told some time ago that stores with seprate entrances from the mall and hours that differed from the mall were not held under the mall code of conduct. The security guard explained that the code of conduct stated you couldn't display weapons but if it was concealed they didn't have a policy against it..... both I and the Best Buy manager looked at each other then corrected the security guard. Mall policy states only on duty law enforcement can carry weapons. The mall guard stated they didnt train them very well... sigh.
However he did state that the malls code of conduct covered all mall property... Including the following stores/restaurants:
Shell Gas
BP Gas
Ground Round
Old Country Buffet
Panera Bread
Pizza Hut/Wing street
Jackson 10 Theater
GFS
Michales
Lowes
Outback Steakhouse
And the hotel thats over there my be included but he couldnt remember.
:cuss:
He told me the director of Security will be at the mall 8:30 to 4 so I will go in there in the morning before I go to work and get a final on this.

However my questions will go unanswered for now as the director of security was not in today and the secretary did not know when he would be back. I left my name, business and business phone so I should get a call back.

This was exactly my question as I have never seen a mall security guard patrol those parking lots after dark. According to their website the mall owns from West ave to Longfellow Ave. excluding the Goodrich theater and the bank next to it.
