Oh mere mortals, don’t fight it. We have no chance, we have no choice. Get on your collective knees and bow to the superiority of our new master. The Electronic Superstore known as Fry’s. For those who don’t know, Fry’s Electronics is a chain of retail mega-markets located up and down the West Coast and stretching east into Texas, which caters to high –tech professionals, as well as your average P.C. user. While each store has a theme of it’s own, some more obvious than others; Ancient Rome, The Wild West, Atlantis, Burbank’s 1950’s B-movie retro-space motif seems to garner the most attention. Possibly because you can’t help but wonder what the marketing gurus had to be thinking, “I’ve got it… We’ll decorate the entire store in things that look like they’ll kill you if you wander too close to the commodities!!!” “Genius idea Witherspoon! I can see it now, fangs, claws, tentacles, ray guns, machine guns. It will be impossible to keep our wares in stock! \Because of, or in spite of the marketing decisions at the Burbank store, customers are never in short supply, and thanks to it’s close proximity to Hollywood, celebrities have even been known to pick up the occasional USB cable, or stack of blank C.D.s. |
