And to be fair, I know plenty of other people who haven't had nearly the 
same negative experiences I have had at this Fry's, so I'm more than 
willing to concede bad timing or something. (I don't think it's me; I 
tend to have better than normal luck at retail shopping, mainly because 
I know I have a tendency to be less than even tempered and so I only go 
into a shop when I'm ready and able to not be an ass; ah, the joys of 
Asperger's.) Heck, most folks I know in this area can't stand the Totem 
Lake CompUSA, but I've only had good experiences there.

Part of my disenchantment with Fry's comes from the fact that it's down 
in Renton; I'm clear up at the northern end of the Seattle Metro area, 
which means I have to navigate pretty much the entirety of 405 in order 
to get to Fry's. By the time I'm through Bellevue and the traffic idiocy 
surrounding the 405/520 and 405/I-90 interchanges, my capacity for 
dealing with anything is pretty much exhausted.

So, YMMV.
