On a scale from 1to10, this Best Buy kiosk is experiencing a serious fail.
The Best Buy Kiosk is a great idea. People like to make awesome, spur of the moment gadget and electronics purchases. Those not least when traveling and on vacation. Doubtless Japan has been doing this for many years. Damn they’re on the ball.
Essentially (in case you live in 29 Palms, CA and you’ve never seen one) these kiosks are like a self-serve gizmo vending machine. iPods, camcorders, headphones, and other fun items are ready to hand for spontaneous shopper. They are un-manned, which is obviously a huge costs savings in labor. Right up until Windows goes into a tail-spin spiral of death, and/or DELL chokes on the BIOS screen.
At the airport I ran into a Best Buy Kiosk that was in excessive FAIL mode. On a scale of 1to10, this scores a 1 on the “success” meter. (It looked like this for at least 25 minutes, FYI.)
