Oh Fry's, how I love thee, let me count the ways!
I've been to Fry's all over -- Texas, Washington, Arizona, all over California. Is it me, or did they used to have better deals? Now it seems there products seem to be priced more or less at the same tier as Best Buy or Circuit City -- except they don't exactly have stellar customer service.
This particular Fry's is big (like all the rest) but its selection isn't as extensive as other Fry's. They also don't seem to bring in the newest stuff that quickly either, or if they do, it is off the shelf and out of the store very fast. Still, it is always fun to wander around and geek out to all the technogadgets on display.
Probably the only place where the deals can be found are with the computer/ electronic components. That is, if you are upgrading your hard drive or building your own computer, you can score some good prices. I've also found some Compact Flash and other media cards at good prices here as well.
I wish their ads came out on a normal day, like with the Sunday paper... I rarely bother to actually look at their ad unless I am already in the store.
Avoid Fry's at holiday times and on the weekends if at all possible and especially if you need assistance or help. It is already near impossible to find anyone to help you there! And if you are female, prepare to be ignored... very ignored.
