You can HAVE the ones around here!
Item (external PCMCIA interface CD-ROM) at about 80% of going
rate; they would not honor the sale price (saying it was a typo), but
would also NOT post anything saying it was a typo on the display copy of
the flyer posted at the front door.
FIVE out of FIVE times that they have had good deals, they have been out
of the items (never had them?), with no rainchecks.
Some sort of extremely obnoxious alarm bell ringing in store; clerk's
response to complaints: "Yeah, I wish that somebody would turn it off."
Response to request for specs on a product: "It's really good."
WHILE getting something from the back room, the time for a clerk's
scheduled break came, . . .
Answer to "what is the angle of directionality?" of a directional
microphone (Sony MC-100): "That means that it only picks up what you aim
it at."

"Yeah, we don't got that."


They suck so much that I'd rather go to FRY'S!
