content: My inetntions were to spend alot of my Christmas money at Fry's.  I had 5 gift ideas for family members in mind looking to cross it off my list.\n\nMy first stop was the computer section where I asked a salesperson \""What is your best deal on a monitor?\""  First, he gave me the impression that he was in a rush and had no time to help.  After a few \""ummms and uhhhhs\"" he said \""we have this monitor that cost $$$.\""  He immediately started to walk away, so I quickly asked \""Is there anything else cheaper perhaps on sale?\""  He then had the damn nerve to tell me \""You killin' me man, that's the best deal we have!\""  I thought \""What kind of F'd up response is that?\""  I was so pissed off that I just told him \""never mind\"" and proceeded to walk away.  He changed his tone instantly and repeatedly tried to say I'm sorry, I was just playing.  BS!!!! His bad unprofessional service basically made myself as a customer feel like we were being cheap.  NOTE: I was prepared to spend $$$$ on several items.\n\nI then joined my wife in the camera section where she was looking for a camera and a specific battery charger.  I stepped back and watched her shop for it.  At one point she walked right passed 6 workers huddled in a circle who were lounging, laughing, and paying no attention to either my wife or her sister.  A supervisor then came out and even her didn't say \""Can I help you with anything?\""  I asked my wife to circle back around just to see if any worker would assist her, and AGAIN no one said a damn thing.  \n\nAll these seasonal hires that has no knowledge of what their selling and no customer service experience is what we encountered.  This lack of service was later re-enforced when I asked a question to a sales rep about a top of the line headphones.  His reply was \""I don't know this is not my section, then walked away!\""  He never bothered to say let me find someone who can help you or try to provide a answer.\n\nWe all left without spending a single a dime there, $$$$ lost in revenue for Fry's.  A very dissapointing visit to say the least.  My advice to corporate/management is to WAKE UP and equip yourselves.  Train your staff on the basics of customer service and don't hire all these seasonal reps with no experience because that only reflects bad on the company and its overall service. \n\nAt least the elderly lady at Wal-Mart where we went next did her best and genuinely tried to assist me.  She served us with a smile and didn't try to make up answers or run away from the transaction or questions.  Ultimately, majority of our money reserved for \""electronics\"" were spent at WAL-MART!\n\nREAL PEOPLE, REAL REVIEWS!!!!!
