I shop at the Microcenter in Westmont. In my experience they ask before 
they put a sticker on your item, when I've asked them for help finding 
something or a question about something. 

Microcenter is my go-to place for anything computer. They are close, they 
usually have whatever I need, usually a reasonable price, a decent return 
policy if you're item didn't work or wasn't correct, and plenty of people 
that can help me if I have any questions (unless you broke the clip on your 
MB battery). 

I notice I seldom hear anyone refer to Fry's anymore.
