Being one of the most vocal people about killing Tiger Direct, and moving on in the Retail world, you would think I would come in here raising hell about them.

However, I had not had dealings with them for a few years. Maybe they changed? I can not say, as I have not had the chance to rate them by buying something. Mostly because they screwed not only myself, but a bunch of members here. You mess with my family, you mess with me.
On that basis, I refuse to do buisness with them again if I can help it, and I god damn well can help it, even if it means driving 30 miles to Fry's. Every time I think of Tiger Direct, horrible thoughts come to my mind, wondering if someone went to Enron or worldcom or something, to assist them.
As a retailer, they should know that word of mouth can take down a company, as you can see by this thread. Most people speak of "rumors of being evil" without actually buying anything from them, which costs them a crapload of sales. They did it to themseves.
Do I, Personally, think they should get a second chance? Hell No. There are no second chances in Retail. How in the world can I even concider it when they signed up countless AT members for monthy fee based stuff that they did not request? In my book, that is stealing. People or companies who steal, legal or not (I am pretty sure what they did was illeagl, because the chargebacks went though, but not 100% sure) are scum. Weather Tiger Direct likes it or not, that one f**kup turned them into an Evil Company until the end of time, just like CyberWings, CyberRebate, and countless others.
