Yes. The smartest consumer gets in and out within 10 mins. He gets exactly what he wants, then immediately heads towards the register without looking at other products.

True, but I usually do but since I'm there I mind as well wander around (I usually don't buy anything else after getting what I needed). I like talking to the frys associates to see if they actually know anything...

Why, so you can make yourself feel big?

Grow the hell up and leave them alone, they're just there to do a job. It's not required that they have all-encompassing technical knowledge.

Probably time for you to soak yourself in gasoline and die in a fire.

Fry's sales associates in orange county get $9-13 p/h just as cashier. Majority of them seem to be picked for their looks however ...

What look is that, malnourished wearing an oversized white dress shirt and sporting a buckethead haircut?

Fsck?!?!?!

Looks? At Fry's? Dam, you've got some seriously low standards...

Anaheim Fry's has some of the ugliest and smelliest people I've seen in retail. Fountain Valley one isn't much better either.

Vegas one, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have a problem attracting sweet young things.

How would you like it if we came to your job and gave you a hard time just cause we are as$holes. Do you not realize most of these kids are probably just highschool students who want to save up for a decent car, or are just paying their way through college?


Don't worry though, I'll never come to your job and give you a hard time, I don't like McDonalds.


Fvcker!

What's really pathetic is that not only you owned yourself by being a misinformed wannabe but you came here to brag about it. Just because you've seen a TV ad for "Centrino powered" laptops, had you done any reading you'd know that there's no such thing as Centrino CPU. "Centrino technology" requires three key components: Pentium 4-M CPU, Intel 855 chipset, and Intel PRO Wireless NIC. Take one away, and you'll have a plain ole' P4-M CPU.

So get that foot out of your mouth and do some research before making an ass out of yourself next time.

I'll even help you

Fountain Valley one has some really cute guys ... and pretty girls as cashier and such. Haven't really been to the on in Anahiem.

Edit. Fountain Valley one is also filled with Asian sales associates ... majority of them ranging from 18-later 20's. There's about a handful of older employees though that seem to be the *lead* or something like that. But I haven't seen anyone too unattractive ... most (the younger associates, not all) seem to be a bit above average.

Here is another experience. Some customers were inquiring about some power supplies. Apparently you can get the accurate readings of the PSU with the side sticker. So the customer told the associate that he got the watt rating. The associate then said "How did you get that?" Apparently he didn't know that the ratings on the sticker were more important and accurate than a sticker that said "450W". Some associates they were.

So at 450W, we need to hardwire two 220 lines? Doesn't that still leave us under powered by 10?

Looks like you're the misinformed one. A Centrino doesn't use the Pentium 4M it uses the Pentium M a different CPU.

Today I entered frys hoping that after christmas sales would be there but they werent, so as I was being bored doing nothing I decided (as usual) to talk to the frys associates (the ones in the laptop sections are the dumbest but most entertaining) so as I was talking to some about the quality of thier laptops one girl said yes I know these are crap, if I was going to buy a laptop I would most definately get an IBM.

And so the conversation continued and nothing annoying there but then I got to another fry's associate who clearly didn't know the difference between the centrino processors and pentium 4 processors. I was bitchin about the desktop replacements with the pentium 4 processors saying how it was stupid that they even bother to put batteries in them since they barely get 30 minutes out of them. Then mentioned that it was good that intel was going to drop the pentium 4 line of processors for the laptops since they know centrino can whoop the p4's a$$ and then he remarked, "We did a performance test here at fry's comparing the pentium 4 and the centrino (pentium m) and the pentium 4 wiped the floor clean with the pentium m.

I said, are you sure about this? What was the speed of the pentium 4 and the centrino? He said the pentium 4 was a 3.06GHZ and the centrino was a 1.7ghz! I was appauled because if they knew anything, they would know thats comparing apples to oranges. He said, "how so?" I replied, "well because the centrino works in performance of 1.5*clock speed of centrino computer". I was very surprised he didn't know this and was very irritating that he thought the pentium 4 was much faster than the centrino because he has probably sold tons of laptops to misguided users' thinking they were getting a better one than one with a centrino processor...

Just pathetic IMO.

there is no such thing as a centrino processor.

If you actually read his post it is clear he knows there is no CPU called the Centrino.

Nah ... pretty asian girls and a bunch of thuggy looking guys. There's one girl at the return line, that looks like an import model ... who doesnt have a bad looking face Majority of the people working at the Fountain Valley fry's in california ... are asian though and it seems. Hell, even I was going to apply there for a p/t job (since I'm going back to school instead of working full time) ... and I'm not unattractive.

I didn't think anyone seriously expected the Frys drones to actually know anything. I don't ask them anything more complicated than "do you have the foo dvd in stock?"

Ummmmm... WRONG! What you and Intel are now calling Pentium-M is the same ole' CPU they called Pentium 4-M. The only difference is in the marketing language. P4-M was used to push "speedstep technology" while the "new" Pentium-M is for "Centrino".
