Best Buy at the Airport

bbvmbanner

As I ran frantically through the Atlanta International Airport to try and make my connection to Gulfport, something caught my eye. I was used to seeing things like McDonald’s and Cinnabon in airports, but a Best Buy? That’s just too weird. So I went in for a closer look.

As it turns out, it wasn’t a real Best Buy, but a Best Buy vending machine.  And they had everything you could ever want in an Air Port, from a camera, to an SD card, to gift card (?), to Lego Batman.

The best thing about all this? The prices were legit! Unlike Quiznos, which nearly doubles their prices in airports as I found out, a 35 dollar Mario Kart DS was 35 dollars.

Good job, Best Buy.

    Wait, I’m confused. Is this like Holiday Inn Express? Where are the hotel rooms? I’m so lost. Any help would be appreciated.
