Imagine Fry's like a minefield, but there are peices of treasure all around it. If you know how to get through the minefield, to the treasure, its a gold mine
Oh, and ALWAYS get a raincheck, even if you dont want it right then! THEY CHANGE PRICES QUICKLY! That "great" price is only good for like 4-8 days!
The week after a game launche, they'll take 20 dollars off it usually. Hurry up and buy it. Right now, I got a raincheck on "C&C: Generals", and Im sad that I couldnt get it. But, Im hurrying to buy it 2morrow (even missing job training!
)
Anyway, make sure its NOT OPEN. There has to be a reason they returned it, right? Always look for tampering.
Also, usually YOU know more about the stuff then the employees ! The only help they can usually give you is to check if something is in stock!
They have a very nifty line system, where there are food and snacks on the way. When I was a kid, I could eat it in line, give it to the register, and they would scan the wrapper (even if it was already eaten) and I'd be on my merry way. They might not let you do that no more, but you can try.
Also, this is a secret..
They legally cant search you when you are exiting the store . They arent police officers, and they are searching your property (since you bought it, after that its YOURS. Its perfectly legal if it was
still theres ). Usually, dont worry about going through it, but if its short , just do it, less trouble. If they try to stop you, keep walking. If they touch you, report that employee for assault (and dont spit or hit them, did you know spitting is assault?
).
Also, at the employee booth, always look at the picture of the guy
if you really need help . Thats the guy you have to talk to, because he probably knows the most.
Im a Fry's veteran, I went to the first one in Southern California almost the day it opened. The same rules apply. Also, ALWAYS save the receipts. Alot of stuff there is returned (and it might not be obvious), so always be prepared to return it
Remember, the employees are there for a commission. If they want to "write something up" for you in the middle of nowhere, it gives them a commission for helping you (even if they didnt). You can just say no if you dont like them, or give it to them (to be nice, or if they were helpfull)
