GO FRY's!! I live in AZ, but was in San Diego this summer and saw their ad in the paper and grand opening and such. I guess they had just opened or sometyhing. We have 2 Fry's in Phoenix, with 2 more on the way. I work for them and love to go in there in a white shirt and tie or to shop.
A good majority of the stuff we carry is NTE. We can also special order some parts, as long as it is in the system.
If you work for them, tell them to stock the parts more often, I did an informal survey, with a store person right there with me and found that in any given section ( physical rack unit) there was about 20% of it empty.....

Right on, Bob -
In the two Phoenix area stores, I actually found the semicondiuctor section to be better stocked than the others. Check out switches, for example, or relays or pilot lights. The out-of-stock rate approaches
50% for all of those. Didn't check basic stuff like resistors and caps. It appeared that Small Appliances was pretty good, though, so if I had come in for a can opener or a toaster oven, I'd be all set.If they build two more stores but don't improve the stock situation, ain't no one gonna be happy - including them, when the stores underperform.
