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.
