Of all the local stores here that stock computer supplies, CompUSA is
the worst. I can't stand the sales people there and getting help is
often impossible. There are nightmare stories about their upgrades (do
they even know enough to do upgrades - not from what I've seen)

Mainly they have more to choose from than Office Depot or Staples, but
if it is something I can get at Office Depot or Staples, that is where
I'll get it. I only buy at CompUSA if there is something I want I can't
get elsewhere. Now with the 15% restocking fee, I'll be less inclined.
I don't really like the store much, or the people they hire.

I would never buy a computer there.
