It's almost an white rhino these days. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75098278 I'm curious if this is localized or brand-wide. I used to love CompUSA and they disappeared overnight and this monopoly of a computer store took it's place, and they refuse to grow. One store for all of Michigan is PLENTY, says Microcenter. It's getting a little tidy in there too, like the trajectory of Radio Shack. They used to have EVERYTHING and it was a bit chaotic but you could find things to put together all manner of tech nonsense... Now that stuff is slowly disappearing and being replaced with conformity and order. Hairier is better.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74952625 Real life experience of a place of employment with 100+ employees who service an entire suburban city daily, all of us doing bare minimum fuck-all about covid 19 and nobody has so much as a cold tells your studies to shove it up it's ass. Fred Flinstone can kick your soy-bitch ass, you'd do best to remember that when you're crying to your boyfriend about big-bad covid19. Twat.

User ID: 78876417 United States 06/16/2020 03:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have you been to a Microcenter since Covid19? Quoting: The_Meridian It's like these people could NOT WAIT to go super-BDSM hyper fascist. From the opening early for "senior citizens" (Ageism? Civil rights?) and the six foot compartmental line out the door stretching into eternity...Gatekeeper at the door forcing you into hand sanitizer (I don't know what's in there, what if I have a skin condition?) Masks, of course, and unlike Kroger and other food service facilities you will NOT find an employee with their mask slipped off. Now get this..finally inside the store and you have to be escorted around by a sales person, and you have to state your intention to the gatekeeper. No leisurely browsing down the game controller isle or just hoping something you might want will pop out at you. Maybe my issue, but the staff seems to be staring as if you're a plague zombie and everyone is under suspicion like it's Late-March, Early April and we all haven't figured out this shit is fake already. I was surprised, honestly, that I wasn't made to kneel before a Floyd George effigy/altar in order to complete my purchase. Our Governer re-opened my State. These people are so far over-the-top like it's giving meaning to their lives. I'm not saying don't take precautions (we don't at my job and everything is fine) but just dial it back, Microcenter! You are cartoonishly ridiculous. Two workers I spoke to said "You think we are bad, go to Best Buy!" Well, I did, they were cool, and lesson learned...go to Best Buy. Great job, Microcenter. LMAO! |

User ID: 77365939 United States 06/16/2020 05:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah went to one in Tustin, California two weeks ago, on a Saturday. There wasn’t a line to get in, although I heard that there often had been. Of the things I thought odd were the greeter had the hand spray as an option. There was no escort, they had what I needed. I went to Frys last week and for the time I spent going between different departments, and seeing the same thing, I’d rather drive a bit more to get what had always been a consistent retailer, Frys is just embarrassing now. |

On Memorial day i ordered 2 SSD drives for the lowest price on internet shipped to me. Good deal Was the Indian guy who called my on the phone to verify my address a fascist? Nope |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77556714 United States 06/20/2020 12:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Getting in they OFFERED hand sanitizer, didn't require it ... mask was required for going in and being inside but if you didn't have one they provided one FREE of charge as you stepped in the door. My big gripe was I could NOT pay by check. For my business purchases I always pay be check so as to keep a good record of business expenses, which is important when one is spending several hundred dollars to a couple of thousands on a visit. CC or Debit Card only (no cash either). Micro-Center STILL has the best stock of any computer store I have been too ... though I agree a lot of the small odds and ends stuff is now not there like it used to be. Also their full selection of equipment so as to make your own video pod casts (at different price points depending upon the quality you want to achieve) was almost non-existent, wiped out in fact. Ditto all the better direct to computer video cameras, though they did have the interface boxes to use regular video cameras and SLR style cameras and hook them up to your computer. The studio quality microphones were also all gone except for a single $500 microphone. For those of you who aren't familiar with Micro-Center it is not surprising since they only have about 16 or 18 stores nationwide ... virtually all in "high tech" areas where lots of techies live. I love em!! |
