I expect it at some places, mainly the autoshop or bar but not at Fry's, that bastion of capitalist greed.
So there I was was, A was looking for an external hard drive and we were in the computer section. I thought I would see if they had the Asus Eee PC there (because they are freaking cute and I totally want one). I didn't see one but I figured I would ask the helper man because, well hell, they're supposed to help you.
So I ask him if they have the Asus and he asks if I mean Acer, "No, it's the Asus Eee PC its really small about 8 inches."
"Are you sure they make computers? Asus makes motherboards" (a little condescending I might add)
A says yes they make a small computer and the guy totally turns away from me (the person he was supposed to be helping) and starts talking to A and totally believing everything he says about this ultra small linux computer, everything I had already told him and yet I got a condescending ass and A gets a friendly sales person. A, of course, is trying not to laugh because I was getting pissed and he finds just about everything funny. Stupid helper jerk isn't even up on new computers.
We walk away and go look for something else. While both of us are looking at hard drives another salesman comes up to us and says, "Excuse me sir can I help you find anything?"
Little bastard.

I hate the service at Frys. I don’t even think the employees are aware that they work there or what they sell.
“What’s this, a collard shirt with my name on it? Is that a computer? Wow, look at all these electronics. I’m sorry ma’am, did you have a question or are you just in front of me asking a question? I’m going to take a wild guess and direct you to aisle three. Good luck with that.”
Gheezus people, get it together!!
