I have an external hard drive where I store lots of family photos. I noticed the connection on it was loose, and rather than risk losing all those photos, I decided to see if I could get it repaired.

I took it to Best Buy/Geek Squad and the guy glanced at it. He told me it would cost $50 for him to send it away to be examined; and another $300 if they could recover the data. If the price had be around $100 I would have said sure, but $350 was enough to make me find other options.

So I took it to Fry’s Electronics. It was a little further out than my usual shopping area but I knew they also did repairs. The guy there looked at the external drive and said it probably was just the connection. He could put the drive into a new housing. It was repaired in less than 30 minutes and cost $10 for the housing and $18 for the service.

I saved $320 dollars. Thanks Fry’s!

Retail story #1

At my place of work I sell Bluetooths. Like, the kind that go in your ear for calling? Well, right behind that aisle is the Massagers and shavers. As I was speaking to a customer, I had my back turned to that aisle and facing her. I saw her face wrinkle as she pointed to this woman and her husband opening up and using the Massagers. They’re not allowed to do that, but I’m not allowed to confront them about it either. I wanted too, but I couldn’t because I was trying to sell this woman an LG760 Bluetooth (Didn’t matter, she returned it later that day). When will people learn, you do -not- open the merchandise before purchasing it. It’s just common sense, god damnit. Do they not have any, was their frontal lobe missing? I hate it when that stuff happens. Then we have to go and find the item(s) that were used and send them to returns to RTV them.
