I have never been to Fry's, but I saved this message last year because of
its intriguing bizarreness and thought it might be of interest to the
present discussion:

Burnt By Frys Electronics hell store ?
Non Masochistic Winners Go Elsewhere !

Has the electronic age left out an element of humanity that is so very critical
to us all?  Depersonalizing seems to be the common complaint !

At FryUs Electronics in Southern california a prevailing Grossly Dehumanizing
Customer/Victim Entrapment Mode Of Operation Has Been A Frequent Subject Of
Mutual Concern To More Electronic Buffs Than You Can Possibly Imagine.

A few Honorable and openly genuine, but unfortunately, RpowerlessS FryUs
employees have boldly spoken out to reaffirm a status quo of grossly malignant
mistrust of heaped upon FryUs customers and itUs employees.

FRYS ELECTRONICS cynical Las Vegas Mafioso atmosphere more than merely
contributes to the creation of gross mistreatment treatment to all that enter
this penal ward like establishment.

We spoke to many others employed at more human trusting computer outlets such as
Comp USA that had quit working for FryUs in complete disgust.   Universaly
Quoting An Extreme Distaste For FryUs Penitentiary Mode Of Thought And General
Day To Day Operations!

Many interviewed present and past employees of FryUs universally concur that
abuse of both customers and itUs employees is a default method of operation
within FryUs Electronics.

We were made nauseous time after time by the endless manipulation of us, the
powerless and victmizied customers.  Customers are made powerless drone captives
by deliberately management made powerless drone employees who methodically
create victims to wait in a mind boggling duplicity of endless lines that take
hours to wait in. This just the surface of the standard FryUs customer and
employee abuse and manipulation methodology.

FryUs is the all time master in the creation of reams of grossly redundant forms
that can only be given final approval by a never present "specialist."  This
seemingly idiotic mode of operation knowingly and most effectively serves  FRYS
ELECTRONICS managements goals by helping prevent returns of faulty items
purchased and to effectively renege on promised price matching of competitors
sales items.

Many members in our computer group personally have several faulty products each
that We foolishly purchased from FryUs.   After experiencing FRYS DMV from Hell
Routine We refuse to further abuse ourselves by attempting a return of this 3
rate blow out merchandise.   We have further forfeited considerable sums of
promised price matching guarantees just to stay out of FryUs mind numbing
linePup the cattle to be slaughtered (customers) game.     We know were not
alone !

We and countless others have had to wait in FryUs infamous lines for many hours
on end to only be put into yet another line  and then another line that will on
average consume 3 hours of the customers precious free time.    We and many
thousands of other customer (victims) have haplessly waited and witnessed at
least 10 deliberately powerless mind dead employees give cross checking
prePapproval signatures to a mind numbing array of forms that Rwere requiredS to
return or exchange defective items.

Competitors price matching at FRYS requires another sepparate series of line ups
with yet another line and yet another never present RspecialistS and so forth
and so on it goes.    Even more frustrating is the grossly stupid mistakes that
we have witnessed the witless mindPdead FryUs employees make the customers
suffer from.

Incorrect billing is very common at FRYS !

A specific cold and chilling robotPlike character deficiency seems to be a
mandatory employment credential at this RTo be avoided at all costsS Electronic
emporium from hell !

If FRYS doesnUt trust their employees, we can understand why !  Only knowing,
personable and trustworthy employees seem leave this truly despicable And
joyless antiPhuman cold as dry cleaned cash operation.

We will follow the ExPFryUs employees to COMP USA THANK YOU!  Note: COMP USA IS
ONE OF THE MORE HUMANISTIC STORES WE HAVE DEALT WITH.

We can also recommend several Mail Order houses that are excellent as well !

HOWEVER:   If you want what FRYS is offering take the ad to COMP USA for a price
match and and extra 10% , compared to FRYS they are magnificent !   We can also
very highly recommend Micro Center In Orange County, located at 1100 Edinger Rd.
in Tustin Calif..
They are very knowledgeable , have an extremely personable staff and have a
super return policy on everything in the store.  They wonUt play games with your
time.  Just bring in a competitors ad and they will match it gladly.  They also
have great deals on returned items and will frequently offer an additional 10%
from these already good deals !
Also be aware that Orange County has a lesser sales tax rate that will help pay
for your gas bill to get you there!  They are definitely worth the effort !

NOTE:  We Have No Vested Interest With Comp Usa, or MICRO CENTER.  Only the
generally Positive Treatment To Our Many Members Motivates Us. Comp Usa and
Micro Center Will Quickly Price Match All Of FryUs Deals With 1St Rate

Merchandise And Will Not Abuse You In The Process.   Returns Are Very Friendly
And Quick At Comp Usa and Micro Center.  You Get Warm and Genuine Smiles Instead
Of being Frisked As A Fellow Inmate At  FRYS ELECTRONICS revolving Door!
Comp Usa Respects Customers And ItUs Employees And Does Not Treat Them As
Inmates!     Never Will We Ever Shop At FryUs Again!  We Choose To Be Winners !

We Demand Respect For Our Time, Money And The All Important Mutual Trust In Each
Other.  Comp Usa and Micro Center  Delivers!  You can trust them, they trust you
!  And treat you with respect !

FryUs Electronics Methodically Strips Your Soul to the marrow !

It's the STINKING TAR PIT of all stores we have ever visted worldwide !
