I'm a huge nerd and I loved just wondering around the store getting ideas for projects, etc, but I can't help but think that the overall shopping experience was terrible. Wonder in past random bins of laptop fans and USB desk lamps through an outdated books section. Find something that you want, and half the time you had to have a sales person write up a sheet on it so that they'd get their commission, and then go stand in line, just go have to get the thing from a giant chain-link security cage, and then when you finally leave the store someone has to look through all your bags and check the stuff against the receipt. They might have had selection when no one else did, but the experience was practically designed to be as annoying and uncomfortable as possible.
