Cold Comfort

I read today that Circuit City stores was unable to find a buyer and is going to liquidate and go out of business. Considering how badly they have treated me and Lisa, including making up laws (hint: US states can't have copyright laws, so don't claim that "Oregon Copyright Law" prohibits something), I'll say it couldn't happen to a more deserving company. Electronics retailers need to learn that hiring low-paid, unskilled workers to staff their stores is not a way to keep customers. If I wanted to have no advice or help, I'd order stuff over the internet and pay less for it.

So sad. Ages ago, like 1985, CC was the store that had well trained sales people. I was actually *pleased* that CC opened up a store in Los Altos; I bought several car stereos there, and they were very helpful making sure I had the right wire harness adapters. But about 10 years ago they got taken over by some jerk who thought a good idea was to fire all their old employees and thought letting them re-apply for jobs at entry rates was generous.
