Back in the day, I had an expense budget at Intel that allowed me to purchase anything I needed for my lab from Frys... I used to buy gear there and often would find failures... I would return them to Fry's but in doing so would mark the box with a sharpie in a known place (to me) I would always check back in the aisles for my returned items and would frequently find them replaced on the shelves to be sold again - knowing that they were bad items. So Frys would be wasting multiple peoples time, plus their own resources on throwing shit that I tested bad in my lab at Intel back on the shelves... One time, I went through ELEVEN returns of some SuperMicro mobos that were all bad... (SuperMicro had a REALLY shitty run in the late 90s, early 2000s) Frys is dead to me know though, for the most part.
