Another One Bites the Dust

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #304 Fry's -- see 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.) 73, John DE K5JY

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. Pat, K0OOK -- Pat in Lewisville '19 FLSB '97 XLH 883 (Rocinante) BS#140 K0OOK EKIII rides with me

As their shelves began to get more bare, the online orders continued from the warehouse to deplete the stock. Their ridiculous scratch receipt before exit was just that, ridiculous. The short distance from the registers to the door was the final customer insult. why would they think anyone would be loading up on their way out? Oh well, maybe a good business will occupy the building.

They would restock junk parts that were B stock to begin with and make you suffer at the return line. The other club reflectors in the area are buzzing with this news. There just isn't a good ratshack/tanners/rondure place to get parts anymore.

Jay Urish - W5GM All Messages By This Member #308 Nah.. It's a popular opinion.. Frys was awful. You are spot on about the deeply flawed business model. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 2/24/21 11:00 AM, Patrick St. Jean wrote: On 2/24/21 10:54 AM, k5jy via groups.io wrote: Fry's -- see <> 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.

Patrick All Messages By This Member #310 开云体育 Well can’t say we didn’t see this coming. I was in store 1.5 years ago in California and they shelves looked as empty as Dallas locations. ? PC and electronic Hobbyists, which is why they originally existed, have been on the decline for the past decade or so. ? Maybe they were a laundering operation for South/Central America drug lords and Trump took a bite out of them and then covid hit with closed boarders…LOL ? ? ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Gary Sawyer Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 11:10 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [n5ers] Another One Bites the Dust ?
