Based on past experience, I'd be leary to believe anything that a Best Buy store employee tells you. I've found that large box stores tend to run promotions, sales, etc... and not bother to actually tell their employees why the price has changed. Employees then tend to theorize and this may just be the best theory they have at the time.
I agree with you that employees are clueless how to use this stuff. My own friend that works at Best Buy tells me of training programs that vendors have available to retail workers, however the workers are not required to actually participate in them (although some nice freebies are available to those who do). I really wish these stores would start actually training their staff rather than just allow their staff to be glorified cash register operators.
