Fry's, big box electronics
I always say how great NewEgg is compared to the big box retailers. You must do your homework before you buy online then you have to wait for the item to be mailed to you but it is usaully worth while for pricing and good return policies.
Today I went to Fry's to buy some memory for Cosmo's (little tizzle) 64 bit machine as he only had 512 meg and Sid Myers Railroad game requests 1 gig. Out of lack of ambition, I wrote down the type of memory and mobo he has then went to Fry's to up it to one gig. Fry's has a section where you tell a kid what you want and he gives you a reciept to go pick it up at the front desk. The rep looks at his computer, scans through a couple of pages of memory. All I see are these big dollar signs. He tells me the cheapest 512 stick is $79 but they have a sale on 1 gig crucial sticks for $89. He then goes on to tell me that cosmo's mobo accepts different size simms and I should put the lower quality simm into slot two and the crucial into slot one then things will work fine.
He was right!
I actually got great customer service at Fry's. I should not post this on an internet site as it may damage their reputation for the worlds worst customer service.

Re: Fry's, big box electronics
i wannarant a lil about customer service... I buy a watch at macy's for myself, being that im traveling overseas later in the week, and i cant use my cell phone for time anymore...
So i buy the watch, and then im like, "where can i go get it sized?, i need 2 links removed" and the cu-nt tells me they dont have anyone in the store to do it.. so im like thinking "thanks bltch why didnt u tell me 2 minutes ago before i bought the fcking thing?" and then had to pay a different jeweler 10 dollars to do it...

Re: Fry's, big box electronics
stup, that was absolutely horrible. Maybe I am too old, too sober or too (add anything here) to get it.

Re: Fry's, big box electronics
Ahh yes fast food, I hate when they take there time. Like this 1 time waited in the drive thru of a Wendy's for almost 15 mins. They are suppose to keep the sandwhiches pre made and just warm them up in the microwave but for the customs they are screwed I think. Can any1 who has experience in the food industry give me some insight?

Re: Fry's, big box electronics
Subway is probably the best, thats what Jared says so I go along with it. More caleroies will fill you up faster, I guess it depends on what you want.

If you guys keep eating fast food, you won't be able to fit in your computer chairs.
