Nah.. It's a popular opinion.. Frys was awful. You are spot on about the deeply flawed business model.

It's been awhile since I've been in one, but I was one of those who asked if they were shutting down, based on the empty shelves. The salesperson assured me that they were just getting ready to remodel.? That's what I loved about their personnel -- they were so knowledgeable <NOT>.
Pretty soon there won't be any place to just wander the aisles and wonder how you could justify stuff (like guys can do at hardware stores.)
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I say good riddance. It was an awful business model, and they lost a customer for life when I was trying to replace a WD Red that had died in one of my storage arrays and they would not price match Newegg because they claimed that Newegg's drive was a model exclusive to them. Strangely enough, Microcenter had no problem matching that very same day.
