Wednesday June 23, 2004 Fry's drives me crazy
|
A couple nights ago, I went with my wife and son to Fry's to look at a Yamaha PSR-275 electric keyboard. Their online store had them at a reasonable price, and it had good reviews as a beginners keyboard so we'd decided to buy one if we liked what we saw. We did. It's a great instrument. Trouble was they only had one left and that had been opened (large amounts of tape down the side of the box). I didn't want that. I wanted a new one. |
So I then had to go looking for a Fry sales person to ask them if they had any more in store in the back. No one around. Now if I'd been trying to buy a laptop or a HDTV they would be swarming all over me like flies. I eventually tracked one down in a nearby aisle and told him what I wanted. Now either he was too senior and this kind of request was beneath him or he was adopting the "not my aisle" approach, so he called over another sales person. This one had so little English that he didn't understand what I wanted, so he called over another one who finally headed off towards the back of the store.
After five minutes he came back and said they didn't have any more but their Sunnyvale store did. Yeah, like I'm going to drive ten miles down the freeway to your other store in rush hour, after that display of salesmanship.
So we went home, and order one online from Walmart. They shipped it the next day and it should arrive on Friday.
