My memories are a bit different than yours. All of my memories of Fry's were of scamming, adding used stickers to items that were designed to fall on the floor, sales people that spoke English on Thursday but pretended not to on Friday. The sales people mishandled memory, would put used motherboards back in boxes as new with stickers that would label them as used but the stickers were intentionally cheap and would fall off. This was the Fry's in Fremont. It was the most shady dodgy electronics store I had ever been in. Some friends brought cameras into the store to record some of this and the store had the Fremont Police escort them out and threaten to arrest them if they returned.
