Newegg is awesome. If you really check out their website, you can find some great deals. And their customer reviews seem better and more helpful than any others on the internet. Unlike Amazon, where it seems only retarded semi-literate douche-knuckles post reviews. I haven’t used Tiger Direct in a whole (they stopped sending me catalogs.)

I bought a PC case from Tiger Direct and some rounded IDE cables from them. This was before brick and mortar retailers started selling rounded cables. Tiger Direct is listing the same drive for $139.99 plus shipping. Newegg shows the same drive for $142.99 shipped. Cayusa, I try to buy things local if I can.

More times then not, they are going to tell you they don't have what you are looking for just to be done with it. Plus, the people that work at these places are usually semi-retarded. The last time I bought an HP printer it came with a plastic card to put in your wallet that showed what type of ink cartridge it took.

They had one of those flip-card reference guides that shows customers what kind of cartridge to get for their printer. I couldn't find my printer in the list, so I asked one of Best Buy's resident boneheads for help (don't ask me why I did that). He told me, quite matter-of-factly, that I couldn't find my printer on the list because my printer was obsolete, which it wasn't. He was just making up an excuse on the spot. He couldn't be convinced otherwise until I noticed that the last two pages of the reference guide had been stuck together and my printer's part number was, in fact, listed there with the others. Then the Best Buy bonehead said, "Yeah, you should have checked the list more carefully." Best Buy's employees tend to lie when they don't know the answer. This is compounded by the fact that they NEVER know the answer. One time I went to Best Buy to get an ink cartridge for my printer.

Even with shipping I can get stuff like that cheaper online. That is why I shop at Tiger Direct and Directron. Even with shipping I can get stuff like that cheaper online.

They have about 10 registers, and none are ever open. You have to go over to the "courtesy desk" to purchase something. Still, it's better than Best Buy. The Circuit City by us sucks.

The first 2 times i noticed it, I checked my own 'pits. Not me. I doubt it was anyone in the store, either (not that their sales staff isn't filthy and unwashed.) I think it's the carpet or something. It's weird. Nope- not me. The first 2 times i noticed it, I checked my own ‘pits. Not me.

Maybe you just need to scrub that upper lip. :) You sure it’s Circuit City? Maybe you just need to scrub that upper lip. :)

Maybe they need some better competition. Circuit City blows. The one by me smells like BO all the time. It fucking sucks. Yeah, but Best Buy has been in a steady decline for the last several years.
