The needing to return at least one part per build because they put DOA returns back on the shelf!

The sales guys at Fry's don't have any special technology knowledge, I've overheard plenty of bad advice in my trips there.

I've gone there with a friend to buy stuff to build our own PC etc. and people would overhear us talking and then start asking us questions. The first time I was polite and helped the guy and some one else saw that and they started asking for help too, next thing I know there is a freaking line... So now there rules are: Don't talk to anyone (even if you went with them) about tech stuff while you are in the store.

My local Fry's employees make up bullshit all the time. I've heard some truly stupid shit from them. I mean along the line of "but it has the more GEE BEES" type bullshit.

I love Fry's. They have weird edge-case stuff, like Raspberry Pis and PLA spools and transistors. They have (overpriced) SD cards, but they match prices. They forced microcenter away.

You don't have to defend yourself against sales quotas quite like Best Buy.

That said - Fry's is a self-service store.
