I'd like this as well since I know a few people who might be affected, but I can't seem to find anything.
Oh man... my father used to work there when I was a kid. Memories...
I've had them refuse to look or tell me "the link is down". The last time this happened, which also happened to be the last time I darkened their door, I went to the display computers in their own goddamn store and found what I was looking for (HDD) in another store. And the guy who refused to look it up gave me a shit-eating smirk when he saw me go do his job for him. I am not a violent man, but I wanted to hurt that boy. They were always a little obnoxious, but after all the CompUSAs and Circuit City closed, their "magnanamousness" went all the way to 11.
They have vaults in some of the stores in my area... seems to depend on the neighborhoods/clientele. Go figure.
Actually, the closest Fry's here is kinda hostile toward it's customers. You're assumed to be a shoplifter. They set up the parking lot to have defined choke points to prevent fleeing. The "courtesy check" for your receipt isn't... they dig through your shit and ask you if you're sure you paid for everything.
The Clear Lake and Sugarland places are nice. It's the one here in Gunspoint that is sketchy (see above).
Checking the site isn't helpful at all as it isn't accurate at all yet they insist on using it.Assuming things haven't changed since when I worked there 8 or so years ago, this isn't entirely accurate. When looking for items in the store there was a standard inventory database you could check with (with a plain, ugly windows GUI) or a intranet version of the bestbuy.com page. It looks identical to the one you see if you got to bestbuy.com, but it's actually just a local version that only checks inventory and prices for that store. I remember they even got a bunch of shit for it, because customers felt like they were doing a bait and switch when the local site's prices were different from the internet version.
