Erik,
Why do you suggest that Fry's is "effectively stealing from the
general public."
You will be treated like crap at all levels of any transaction at fry's.
Expect, No, assume that
any advertised product will be out of stock, that the pepsi machine
will of be of more help
then the sailsdroids. Don't even think about using a check, unless you
have about an hour or
two to wait ( I AM NOT KIDDING ), Check all the packages, as frys simply
returns
defective and returned products to the shelves. Returns? Plan on
spending the day.
Need I say more?
