Panic panic ugh
Once again we had to go to the Fry's store out by LAX. Ok, so Fry's stores in general tend to be busy, etc. But this one seriously makes me want to have major panic attacks. I get so claustrophobic there. Fellow customers also apparently stressed by the so very un-customer friendly store, or perhaps just rude begin to ignore other customers like me. They walk in straight lines. If you're in their way they shove you, even if all of the area around you was open to walk around you. It makes me want to go Michael Douglas circa Falling Down on them or alternatively just crawl into a cave and never see another person again as long as I live. At least 4 people shoved me with no reason to. Plenty of room to walk around me, me standing out of the way, not in the center of aisles, etc. I HATE PEOPLE BEING RUDE. I mean if I see you wanting to look at stuff I'm also looking at, I move out of the way. If I see you walking by, I make sure I'm not in your way. If you smack into me say sorry or at least look at me with an oops look on your face. Assholes.
And Fry's. Oh Fry's. Your set up is so unfriendly. If we want something from the shelf, no prob. If we want something that is well controlled like RAM, big mess. Last time Brian got charged for a more expensive MB that he wanted but was given a cheaper and slower one that happened to come in a very similar box etc. Didn't realize til he got it home. By then you were closed and it was a holiday weekend so you wouldn't be open again until he was back at work. Meant he'd have to take time off of work to return it during the week and couldn't as he had no working desktop machine and a freelance project he had to start. So you screwed him and he took it and lost about $20 as that was the difference in what he paid for and got.
This time he said he needed two sticks of this RAM. You said ok. You sent him to the front with paperwork for 1. They can't edit it at the register. Back to the back for edited paperwork. They don't have to EDIT THE PAPERWORK. They just have to ask them to send another stick up front. WTF? And if you buy something like RAM that requires paperwork you can't go buy anything else in the store because once you have a piece of paper thats an order for the check out people to use and they can't add to it, even if it's the stuff from by the register. But if you buy just normal stuff from the shelves that doesn't require that inventory control type of paperwork, no worries you can keep shopping but no one tells you this (we happen to know it from previous experience).
I've ranted about this before. Just argh. Why must you be so convenient in SOME ways and yet such a pathetic panic inducing store in others?

Oh on a side note Ill be on MM more now! probably mostly on weekdays maybe some on weekends... im not sure yet :P Not really interested in playing though, I kinda want to update the newspaper, add classifieds or something like we had talked about in the past. Ill be on IRC either later tonight or tomorrow to chat.
Hugs!
Yeah... Fry's in OR seemed crowded a little at times too... but NOTHING like this from the few times I went to that one anyway. This one would land you on the news if we took you there I'm sure of it.
Honestly? Disney crowds when we've gone aren't usually that bad. I mean yeah lot of people but they've always been pretty nice. The only time it's be close to the kinds where people have to be pushy to get around you is around the electric parade at night at CA adventure or the umm wanna forget what it is, some big show on the water at Disneyland at night. And usually most people are nice even when I'm slooow by nightime. Even in long line when people start getting all *sigh* *ugh* this takes too long blech, they stay nice and just at worst too chatty. I think I've only had to break out my rude glare two or three times in all of our DIsney trips.
