I can remember when many of us, in the Dallas area, could not wait for the Friday Fry's sale flyer to come out in the paper. I would venture to guess, that flyer along sold thousands of Friday newspaper. For over a decade, Fry's was the geeks heaven.
However, I did end up buying something at a deeply discounted price; a price way below what you could get online. When I asked an employee what was going on I got the company line. So, if you are at Fry's just make an offer, any offer.
The salesperson asked if I wanted to purchase the Fry's extended warranty plan. I was nice and said no thank you.
