Circuit City Files for Bankruptcy Protection

[kath]

We go between Circuit City, Best Buy and Costco out here - no Fry's in our immediate area - we'd have to trek on down to San Diego to find the closest one I think. Less than a city block away from each other in both Palm Desert and La Quinta, I think they are in competition with themselves. Maybe shutting down a few stores, re-grouping and a BK will help. Everyone thought Starbucks was gonna go bye-bye when they started shutting down stores, but it seems to have helped.

Good luck CC!

Around here they closed every store that has a Best Buy nearby, which was almost all of them.

Once again, the American public says they want one thing, but they vote for something different with their wallet and their feet. They bitch about bad or complete lack of customer service, support, etc. Circuit City actually provides that. Try to return something you've already used or something really big to Circuit City, then try same thing at Best Buy. There IS a difference.

But you pay a few bucks more for it. But we're Americans, we shop on price and simply bitch about the service or lack there of.

Same reason you have all of the airlines scaling back to operate like Southwest and AirTran to stay in business. We bitch, but when given the opportunity we dont pay for something better.

However, Americans also seem expect to get paid much more for similar work that is done all over the world for less.


Odd, isn't it?

No, we have to be paid more so we can afford the payments on the SUV we drive to work from 30 miles out into the suburbs.
