I bought a laptop from Best Buy recently, and the limited amount of contact was great. Just pressed a button on my phone when I arrived, confirmed with the employee that the order was in-fact mine, and he put in my trunk without even getting close to me!

And then you end up with Best Buy crapware on your computer and usually they have worse specs. I have never seen as many 14 and 15 inch laptop screens with less than 1080p in my life.

I actually just used Best Buy as a vendor. I found the laptop elsewhere and it was the only place it was available (coronavirus shortages). It doesn't have any bloatware other than from OEM itself.

Curbside has been really excellent. I buy a thing online and less than half an hour later I'm back at home with the device. Makes me realize how much of my amazon shopping was because of the fast delivery.

Yep, I was really impressed with the process. I _really_ hope it sticks around after the pandemic.
