Had to go to Microcenter today to pick up a power supply so, since I 
haven't been there in awhile I perused a bit.  I needed a Sata power 
adapter cable and went to the cable section.  It was funny.  From left 
to right the cable prices kept going down -- from $14.99 to $2.99.  I 
jumped at the $2.99 find for something that should be had for a quarter.  
But what the hell, sometimes you have to pay for convenience and pity 
the poor fool who ended up paying $14.99 for one of these.

When checking out apparently some salesguy put his ups sticker on there 
so he or she got credit for that sale.  Pretty clever.  I would really 
hate to work for a retailer who kept metrics like that.
