	I didn't think they hired morons at Fry's?! Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Those idiots stocked the PC video game section horizonatlly so that when you are looking at the games you only see the bottom's of the boxes; the proof of purchase, bar code, system reqs, etc. In order to know what game it is you have to pick it up. 5 rows of bottom of boxes! No way in hell am I going to go through all those to find Pirates! to see if it is finally on sale...

Idiots.

Making me waste a thread ranting about it too!

Fry's is known for super low prices, very wide selections, and totally worthless gits working there.

Why don't they just automate the place into a giant vending machine?

No returns on games.

Terrible service. I went in five times to try and buy a digital camera. Finally I bought it at Circuit City.

I did manage to buy a washing machine there. I took a paperback and sat reading it on the machine I wanted for about 20-30 minutes until a salesperson showed up. He seemed surprised to see me.

Frys got bought up some time back by the same conglomeration that bought the chain I used to work for. As soon as they buy something they get rid of half the staff and expect the other half to pick up the slack. Well. Amazing it doesn't seem too work. Customer service goes to hell. They also slash the benefits every year and then try to tell everyone it's an improvement...not that it matters as they broke the union last year in California and they can do what they want. First thing they did was to send around a letter about how the strike cost 30 million and how they were going to cut benefits for everyone and pay rates for new hires to make things all better.

Good prices though, that's true.

Fry's Electronics rules! Super cheap prices and a very good selection. However, 99% of their employees seem to know less about computers than my dog, which is pretty impressive for a computer store. Just don't ask any questions when you're in there and it's all good. I actually had one of their employees tell me that ATI did not make an X700 card.

Try finding anything in the store..

"Oh no, I am a sales rep for HP. Do you need a printer?!"

F!!
