My CompUSA store sucks too. First, they frisk you when you enter and they take your wallet as security. Then all the computers are overpriced. I mean, really overpriced. A Pentium 90 for $5000? And it doesn't even include a monitor! And forget trying to leave without buying anything. If you don't spend at least $1000, they make you write a 1000 word essay before they'll give you back your wallet. There was a guy there selling essays for $50 so I bought one, but they rejected it because it was plagiarized. For punishment they increased my essay to 2000 words.

Needless to say, I only go there when I think life can't get any worse. They treat me like the jerk that I am. But sometimes I want to be treated like a frigging celebrity, and that's whey I go to BBY. Every third visit they let you pick out any item in the store as a token of their appreciation. That's pretty nice.
