Apparently they are owned by the same corporation but opperate as seperate companies. But yes essentially they are the same.
The only difference is that Future shop has commission sales people who follow you around and get angry at you when you don't buy something, while Best Buy pays its staff on an hourly wage and they do not work on Commission.
@videocircus Ah, got it! :-) Yes, the people at Futurue Shop ARE kind of like that. So, apparently, are the people at Sears. If you just happen to LOOK out of the corner of your eyes at the appliances (while shopping for something else) salespeople are on you like cheetahs on a dying gazelle, but if you want to buy vacuum cleaner bags, there are no salespeople to be found...

Aren't "Best Buy" and "Future Shop" the same company now? If so, isn't that redundant, and if not, isn't it overkill?

@videocircus Wow I did not know that. I was under the impression that Future Shop carries more high quality electronics etc. Good to know.
