FRYS HATES THIER CUSTOMERS :|

Don't waste your time. Customer Relations doesn't doesn't care. Randy Fry doesn't care. Believe me, I live in Silicon Valley and have watched Fry's piss off customers with their terrible attitude and crappy service since they opened in 1985. This is part of their "business model", it costs money to hire knowledgeable and friendly employees, money that would otherwise end up in the bottom line, so they don't. I used to think it would eventually bury them but they continue to grow because their customers put up with it! The attitude of Fry and his management team when you complain is to tell you to shut up and go someplace else if you don't like it! It's not like we don't have viable alternatives here in the Valley. But for some reason people keep coming back. Maybe they're masochistic, I dunno. It's certainly not the pricing. With a few exceptions each week, I can usually easily match or beat their prices at any number of local places.Originally posted by: Lantano[i/]Needless to say I stormed out of the store. I Currently have an email off to corporate and a phone message for someone named Rachel in customer relations at the corporate office. I doubt I get anything accomplished but I will vent my frustration all the way to Randy Fry if I have to!!
ECS = you get what you pay for. Are the savings really worth the hassle?
