Fry's
Electronics House brands
In addition to selling
many major brands of PCs, Fry's also sells two models of in house PC
designs. Their flagship Fry's PCs compete with similarly featured
Windows PC offerings from Hewlett-Packard, Sony, and
Compaq. |
 |
In addition they also offer a lower end
model branded as Great Quality PCs. Great Quality PCs tend to be
Fry's cheapest PC offerings, often priced in the sub $200 range during
daily and weekly sales. In addition Great Quality PCs are often bundled
with the Linspire Linux based OS in addition to Microsoft's Windows, one
of the few Linux offerings available in a retail PC configuration. They
also market accessories like cables and CD-R discs under the GQ
brandname.
Fry's
Electronics also sells notebook computers, desktop computers and
computer printers.

Customer service
Many, but not all, customers have
reported frustrating customer service experiences at Fry's stores.
Some of these customers have established web sites to discuss their
experiences, many though from as long as 9 years ago. One of the slogans
of Fry's (as shown on newspaper ads) is "Home of Fast, Friendly,
Courteous Service", but the level of customer support available at the
stores is something of an inside joke among geeks, who are considered
the chain's target market. Fry's is reputed to be even less attentive to
less-knowledgeable customers.

Commissions
Many, but less than half, of the
employees working at Fry's are paid a combination of an hourly rate and
a commission on some specific aspect of the store's operations. The
employee who checks your bag at the door gets paid if he finds an item
not rung up, or that you were overcharged, or any one of another couple
dozen possible problems. Of the cashiers, those who have passed a
written test and are "certified" cashiers get paid a percentage of the
total dollars they ring up.
Fry's
Electronic Outpost is a web site
selling computer and electronic products such as: Compac Desktop
Pcs and Toshiba Satellite
notebooks.
