Best Buy Bans Man For Life After Winning Court Case

cobracommand0 writes "After winning two out of three charges in a small claims court against Best Buy for sending his receiver for repairs without getting his permission first, a customer received a check and a letter informing him of his perma-ban from the entire chain. From the article: 'Jed basically took his defective Sony home theater receiver in for a fix and paid a $35 non-refundable deposit. He was informed that a Geek Squad agent would shortly get back to him with a repair estimate. This never happened and when Jed called to inquire why, he was told that Best Buy already sent the unit to Sony and he now owed Best Buy $115. After a tussle he was then asked to pay $94.94 instead. Jed told Best Buy this was unacceptable as they didn't ask his permission before doing the fix and was then told he had no extra charges owing.'"
