My big problem with Fry's (and I've experienced this in pretty much any store) is that if it is more than $100 and bigger than RAM you probably won't be able to find it in an unopened, non-returned state. This probably doesn't apply to TVs.
Printers, computers, lamps, cameras, DVD carrousel. All bigger things I've tried to buy only to find that which is displayed is not available to me unless I buy one that someone else has bought before and returned (and with a really crappy discount). Also, I never go there in search of an advertised sale item because they've never had it and I'm not going to bother with rain checks.
Combine that with the fact that merely being in a store of any kind makes me short-tempered and causes a rash and they're on my **** list. Never tried to buy TVs or appliances there, I just know that I probably wouldn't even try.
It is still nerd heaven, but for the most part I'm not going there for particularly nerdy items. If I need a specific cable or adapter or internal computer part or server racks then I'll go there first.
