Misinformation and shitty return policy.

EAT ME COMPUSA
Dunno Gonzo.

I never had the chance to have a CompUSA in my town. Closest one was Timonium MD. About 70 minutes away at best. I would have been happy to have a big box computer retailer...any retailer. Especially when you need that cable right now.

I think you overlook that convenience, and take it for granted.

Were they gonna maximize their profit if they were the only game in town? Sure. So would I. So would you.
You still had all the options I did. Mail order, and more mail order. Nobody forced you to walk in their store.

Everyone wants to shit on the retailer. Walk a mile in his shoes first. Try it from our side of the counter.
