went in today to get a motorola to bnc connector.. also decided to get a couple m 2 f rca patch cables. ( 5$ items..e tc )

clerks there are like vampires!

tried to sell me a dozen toys or anything else I was standing near... took 5-6 no's to get out of that one..

then wanted me to upgrade my phone. didn't want to.. then they have this spiel about giving you $ just to check to see if your phone / plan is available for an upgrade.. yada yada. ok.. got out of that after saying no 15 times.

next..they wanted to sell me a 99 cent 'extended warranty' plan on each cable and the connector end. SERIOUSLY?!?

that took another 5-6 no's to get out of.

by that time I just wanted them to run my darn credit card so I could run out of the store before they tried to sell me anything else. SHEESH!

I was never a big fan of that place...

i liked them for being able to run in and get a discreet component.. but nowadays they are mostly a cellphone store. 25ys ago.. they sold electronics.. etc..

It always irked the heck out of me that they wanted your your zip code before they rang up your purchase...

Had some at lunch with a cheeseburger, root beer and mini choco cherry lovers blizzard at DQ. But was not offered a cell phone contract.

mouser.com ships the same day if you get your order in by 3:00 pm.

Went there a couple of years ago to buy a $15 X-10 module. They tried to sell me the extended warranty, which cost $15. I tried to explain to the clerk how ridiculous this was and that I'd be better off just buying two of the modules. He asked me if I'd like the warranty on both of them. I could feel my brain melting.

At my local one, the salesdroids are usually out back smoking with the back door open so that the smoke wafts through the whole store... Good way to get someone like me to get in and get out as quickly as possible.
