Re: CompUSA Refuses To Accept Cash

["Rob Thompson" <my.security.lists () gmail com>]

I vote we take loose pennies and purchase laptops at that joke of a store.

Yet another reason that I will not shop that that beheamoth of a mess.

CompUSA is such a freaking riot - they're better than Calvin and Hobbes!  ;p

I just wish I understood why they are still in business from their
obviously wonderful business ethic!  I konw people that work there and
would purposefully break peoples boxes worse than they were when they
were brought in, to make them buy more in repairs.
