"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

i used to think fry's was good when i moved to a state that had them but they're really really bad

i dunno whats worse the pathetic guys in white shirts and black ties desperately getting you to hold and wait while they print out paperwork on their ancient POS system so you can register your sale for their tiny commission

or just the terrible customer service

one time i was in vegas and we desperately needed rack screws and i asked they guy where they were and he just told me they dont carry those

and then i mulled around for a little while and found them

i had to grab something at best buy recently, it was the first time i went in one in several years

checked the website and saw the price for what i wanted was the same as online, so sure whatever

go in the store and the prices on the shelf dont match their website and you have to get the people at the register to pricematch their own loving site

it's not bad if you want your thing RIGHT NOW with matching price from places like amazon, but yeah they used to be more chill and dont gawk you for commission

also they according to one of the printout from just a few weeks ago they are getting like 5 bucks commission on something $160

there's a fry's in wilsonville, OR and it's basically a gathering point for failed nerds right outta high school


it's also a cheapass "warehouse"-themed fry's





i hardly ever go there, although it was handy to snag a price-matched monitor from them i guess. be careful that if you try the price-matching thing against like amazon they'll count the shipping cost as part of the price.

you can make a battery out of a potato, op, is this what you mean by electronic frys?

also there is (or used to be) a grocery store chain called fry's where you could buy potatoes, is that what you meant by fry's electronics?

In 1972, Charles Fry sold the Fry's Supermarkets chain (of California) for US$14 million to Save Mart Supermarkets. He gave a portion of the proceeds (approximately $1 million per son) to each of his sons John, Randy, and David, none of whom had much interest in grocery store retailing.[3] Instead, in 1985, they joined together with a fourth partner, Kathryn Kolder (John's former girlfriend), to open the first Fry's Electronics store at a 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) site in Sunnyvale, California.[4] Today, Fry's Food and Drug stores are owned and operated by Kroger and are not affiliated with Fry's Electronics, although they share an almost identical logo.[5]
