Back in the 80's and 90's , my dad dealt alot with typical consumer electronics and repair. He did everything from fixing vcr's, camcorders, tvs, and even installing those really big satellite dishes at the time - you name it.
I will always remember that occasional gripe about this supposed company named "frys". I don't ever remember what the problem was (as i was +/- 10-15 years old at the time and didnt care) but i will always remeber the contempt he had for that company.
I had to look it up and from what ive read so far, they didnt even have a location in my state - which is kind of a head scratcher as to why he would be having probs with a company out of state. My only guess is he perhaps had to do warranty work or need parts from them or something and they were being massive assholes about it.
