Since the bag-check is AFTER the cash registers, it does nothing to deter
shoplifting. The only thing that it has any effect on is preventing the
cashiers from giving unauthorized deals to their friends.
Ok, back to computers, as a total foreigner I was
somewhat impressed
by Fry's, but within less than 20 minutes I experianced the said
problems of incompetence on every level and ineffective organisation
- up to this weired concept of 'bag controll'. It did in no way stand
up to the legend of the name.
Every visitor to the area should see it. Once.
P.S.: Sallam, I may as well sign up atFry's for a
job - no knowledge
of English, and all computer knowledge totaly outdated :)
You do NOT qualify. Your English is too good, you can read and write, you
are too intelligent, you are polite, and you are aware that computers
existed before this year.
I do NOT expect computer expertise on the part of the sales staff.
But I expect them to know the layout of the store better than I do, and on
large ticket items (such as a TV), I expect them to be able to find the
manual for the demo machine. And, if I ask for something that they don't
carry (such as 720K diskettes), I do not want to be told that what I'm
asking for does not exist. ("There isn't any such thing. All diskettes
are 1.44 M")
