    Fry's Electronics -- SUCKS BIG TIME!!

    How can they advertise something at a sale price then write you a raincheck, then tell you they might never get another shipment of said product in again. WTF

    Alos, some of the stupidest people in the world work at Fry's!!!

    FUCKERS

              You have to be quick on Fry's deals ... I love that store. But you are right about the rain check thing, that's the thing about Fry's, they never know how much of one thing they will get in.

                      I would like to see the receipts for a days sales at my local Frys. I've never been in that place without seeing at least 2 big screen TVs going out the door. They must sell 20 a day.

                          They're cheap, but the service sucks in my experience.

                              Frys is awsome for cheap deals on some things but I still do mail order on most large items to avoid sales tax.

                                                  It's less than you think, I was a supervisor at Fry's right after I left college and believe me the buyers for the company bitch and the store management just as much when they have to give out rainchecks as you are bitching now. One of the big problems is the cashiers in the store, basically you have this mouse on sale for 99 cents or whatever item that's a great price, some local computer store owner will come in and attempt to buy like 100 of them the minute the store doors open. Cashiers and front management are supposed to know to stop them but a lot of times they don't and then there goes all of your stock before regular customers who want to buy just 1 can get in there.

                                                      After getting 1 in 5 sticks of RAM to working, and several pci cards that had been returned (missing drivers / broken?) put back on their shelf, I buy from several of the dealers on pricewatch - especially the ones that have better feedback.

                                                      I get tired of returning crap, that has already been returned, that gets put back on the floor.

                                                                          The clerk told the guys he needed the box also, or they couldn't return the board.

                                                                          One guy said that's why we got a better deal on one, because it didn't have a box.

                                                                          The clerk said....... but I need the box or i can't put it back on the shelf.

                                                                          When i lived in the Bay Area, I would go thru 4 or 5 hard drives before i got a good one.

I dont help anyone though with advice. If your moron to fall for their sales pitch then you deserve your $5000 Apple Computer.

I wonder if there are 100 happy customer for every pissed off poster here, or if this is actually an accurate set of descriptions.

                                                                                                                                                  Well, actually I am big winded so I will keep going. Fry's is a good place to shop for nerds. If you are not one, then step out because you will get burned.

                                                                                                                                                  I notice shit like stuff on sale because a forklift crushed it. Some people can't see those tell-tale signs like an acordianed box or the sounds of inside pieces clanging around...

                                                                                                                                                  A friend of mine bought a referbished monitor that said referbished all over it when he bought it. Trinitron or some shit and normally about $700 and he got it for $250. Good deal, but no matter what you do with the controls, the picture is slightly out of whack... he bitches about Fry's on a daily basis now...

                                                                                                                                                  is anyone even reading this?
