Dunno but it was hilarious seeing 12 guys in the TV section waiting for a victim to walk by LOL. They are wasting SOOO much money right now, they had SOOOO many people and so few customers today.

They sure are, if you're clueless and have no green card I'd encourage you to apply!

The only thing Detroit needs is a fleet of bulldozers and a DNA reseeding team. :p

I just got back from there and OMG it's huge. If it was closer I'd never shop at Best Buy or Circuit City again. BTW, there is a "theme" of sorts to the place, there's some history of Chicago signs up at the front of the store that you can see from the back of the store and some Chicago style road signs at the entrance.

I live about 2 minutes from a Fry's Electronics. It's big, that's for sure. With a lot more stuff to offer than really any other store in it's market (BB, CC, CompUSA), but I find their prices a bit on the high side vs the others.

Is it just me?
