Fry's Electronics

phone stated that the store was ready but they were missing quite a bit of
stock and they were very low on sales help. He wanted to know if I or
anyone else wanted a career in the fabulous industry of retail sales. They
are targeting an opening date near the end of August.

Fry's is my favorite Electronics store -- because it's so damned amusing.

This is true, the Net may have everyday low prices but the retail loss
leaders in the Sunday ads are hard to beat. Especially when the store is
right down the street!

Fry's is good at that. And selling refurbs, too.
I bought a White Westinghouse vacuum cleaner there back in 1996 (ever hear

Unfortunately, they don't make replacement bags, just vacuum cleaners.

If you can tolerate the rather low signal-to-noise ratio (of course
you can, because you're reading austin.general :), you might find the
"Hot Deals" forum at Anandtech.com to be useful. Many of the postings
are about sunday ads (especially combined with rebates and/or
pricematching). It's at
http://forums.anandtech.com/categories.cfm?catid=40 .

The post office doesn't call me up at 9am on a Saturday morning trying
to get me to re-subscribe. They also don't send some random kid
soliciting door-to-door in my apartment complex. What irks me the most
about the Statesman's telemarketing is that they always say something
along the lines of "we're going to start delivering the paper to you
monday, and it will be free for N weeks", as if I haven't told them at
least a dozen times that I don't want their paper and that they should
stop calling me.

I believe that once you formally tell them not to call you, you have
recourse in the courts, (small claims), under Texas law.
Perhaps one of the legal beagles that reads this ng could enlighten us.

You have to tell them specifically: "Put me on your do-not-call list".
If they continue, call the PUC. Their number's in the beginnning of the
white pages. Once you establish a record with the PUC, the solicitor
has a certain amount of time (21 days?) to stop calling you, and if they
do after this time is up, call the PUC and they will fine the solicitor.
Satellites Direct is the one who keeps calling me. Last time I told
them (gleefully, I might add) that they had a record at the PUC and this
call was going to get them fined, they tried to guilt me.. "the lady who
takes care of taking you off the list is in the hospital, she's real
sick". Whatever. This is my problem because...?

Ah, thanks. I had been wondering about the "established business

The first time they called me I told them to never call me again, to take
my name off
their call list, and to never sell my name to a third party or I would sue
their ass off.
They called about two months later. I told the guy exactly what had
happened, he got
his manager and they assured me they were going to look up the records of
who called me
before and why he didn't enter that info in the system and to fire him.
Nice ploy, pretty unbelievable, but they haven't called me since.
But, I forgive the AAS a lot when they throw open their private parking
lot and land to let
10's of thousands of Austonians and visitors watch the bats for free.
I also notice that in the most part people try to clean up after
themselves and put their trash
into trash containers.
But then, I notice most of the people are white and asians and from an
obviously higher class
of people so that might have something to do with it...ever see a park

Fry's used to, too. But it wasn't Fry's scanning and posting the ads.
They sued the guy at http://www.frysad.com, to stop him from posting

You can bet that Fry's will buy the back cover of the Austin Chronicle,

They've got their fingers in a lot of pies. At one point (and maybe
still) they owned Poulan/Weed-Eater (which they bought from Emerson).
So, basically, you bought a vacuum cleaner made by a chainsaw company.

Could be. My mother used to transcribe depo's and file pictures of sawed-
off hands and severed thumbs for Rockwell's Legal department, many of which
appliances said 'Westinghouse' on them. Rockwell just made the moters and
safety guards on the rip-saws though, kinda like how they make space-shuttle
parts nowdays. These were *real* pictures, not like those you see on that
Mayor of Cincinatti's Show.
I blamed my vacuum cleaner on Fry's. They were a batch of refurbs made
by Hoover that were sitting in a warehouse for 6+ years before Fry's bought
the load. Originally meant to be part of a new WWestinghouse spinoff of a
residential vacuum line, but the refill bags nor the vacuums never made it to
market...until 1997, minus the bags.
Ain't _that_ a bitch?

Thank you. I asked for directions from a local mailing list
yesterday, and the only person to repsond called Mo-Pac "1325".
Yeah, yeah, I know that it is 1325 also (a fact I learned only after
going up there to explore Parmer and find the store), but who really
knows that? That is one thing about Austin that really gripes me:
some people insist on referring to all of the streets by those farm
and ranch road numbers.
