RE: Fry's Electronics shutting down 30 stores in 9 states
I've not been to Fry's in Dallas for probably 20 years or so. All the sales associates seemed to be from 3rd. world African countries. I could never communicate. I liked all the stuff they had but really could not get a bit of help. I had always assumed this was their corporate culture. Perhaps I was wrong, but again it's been 20 years.
RE: I Hope This Doesn't Get Taken Down Right Away
3rd grade, Alexandria Va. Dad career Army. They let school out early and put us on the buses. Rumor had it that the gorillas had escaped from Africa and were on a boat coming for us. I got home and little sis on steps playing with her barbies. Deadpan face she said, "a man died". I remember well.
RE: Costco batteries
Not 18-24 months, but I bought 6 of the Costco bats in 2015 for my golf cart. All dead about 6 months ago. OTOH, The Sam's Club bats I had prior lasted almost 8 years. YMMV & regards.
