Tiger direct has gotten awful in the last few years, especially with that crap. I stopped there on my way home from work a month ago for a USB hub. Waited 20 minutes in line with 4 people in front of me. Get to the register, lady scans the item.

"Zip code?"

"No thank you."

[3 minutes of typing]

"Phone number for the warranty?"

"No thank you."

[3 minutes of typing]

"Can I have your email to send you special offers?"

"On second thought, why don't you just hang on to this..."

[set hub on counter, walk out]

I hate to be a dick, but it just gets to a point where enough is enough. 20 minutes in line because they need to perform 5 minutes worth of data mining for each customer...lick my nuts.
