 That's what i did the last time I was in Circuit City (several years ago)
- I was trying to get some assistance from a sales monkey and when one
finally decided that he'd come over I thanked him for his time and kindly
explained to him that I was going to go to another store to get what I had
come there for and walked off. Haven't been back since.

 I haven't seen that level of disservice at Wintronic myself but they have
made some changes over the past year where I could see that happenning.
Heck, they couldn't even get their phone number in the phone book this
year, I had to drive there to get it.

 But, as Sean stated, if there's another place locally that can compete
then please let us know. And Mountain States Electronics ain't it.
