Electronic Connection

My God!\r \r So i went there, and when I got in there I was happy to see that the older man was behind the counter. He had just rang someone out. I was standing there with 2 data sheets to show him what i was looking for (i don't even want to waste 30 minutes looking around in the store because i don't even know where to look anyway). Well an older guy just cut right in front of me and they were like peas and carrots (must be good friends). So it's my turn, the old lady walks out and the guy says ""take over the register""...the guy looks at me and his smile suddenly goes away (I don't think they like young people, im 28). I said ""sir, I'm not even going to waste my time looking around because I dont know where to start, but I'm looking for this transistor (hands him one data sheet) and this one (hands him the other). He goes in a snotty voice ""well which one do you want?"" I said ""Both"". He looks at me like i just copped some major tude with him. Then he goes ""well how many do you want?"" I said ""i dont know, 5 or so"". He goes ""well you can look in this catalog..."" and I said ""do you have these?"" He goes ""well yes i have them"" in a snotty attitude way. So he looks them up in a catalog, says ""this one comes in 25 pack and the other in 4 pack"". I said ""great!"" so he goes ""well they're in the next isle"". I'm like ""well i haven't been here"" so he cops this attitude about it being so tough to go show me. He stomps back there and goes ""so youll come in, you'll look over here, and here they are"". Gives them to me and walks away. \r \r What the hell kind of service is that? I swear to God if I didn't need those parts bad or could have gotten them anywhere else and on short notice, I would have made a big scene. F'n people. I will never buy anything there unless I have nowhere else to go and need something suddenly. more

I have also had less than pleasing experiences with the same lady. Yes they do carry quailty parts and hard to find small parts. They also have a wide selection. I go there for my CB supplies. I am still learning the components to a CB radio and she gets very frustrated that I do not know the terminology or specific name of the parts I need. After asking for help, she replies, ""well when you figure out what you need grab it."" Then she just walked away. I asked her if she could help me find some special connectors, she said if you can't find them, then we don't have them. Talk about customer service. more

I have been coming here for years for small hard to find items. The main problem is the lady up front is always upset and rude. A good example is when I called her up on the phone:\r \r Me - ""Hello I am looking for a small component - an inrush current limitor.""\r \r Her - ""What is the NTE part number?""\r \r Me - ""What is an NTE part number?""\r \r Her - ""(in a sarcastic way) The largest manufacturer of electronic components in the world.""\r \r Me - ""Oh okay, well I can give you the manufacturers part number""\r \r Her - ""Go ahead""\r \r Me - ""(gave part number)""\r \r Her - ""Sorry, they don't have it""\r \r Me - ""Okay, what was the name of that company that makes everything, NTE or MTE?""\r \r Her - ""SIR I ALREADY CROSS MATCHED IT, THEY DO NOT MAKE IT!""\r \r Me - ""I just want to know the name of that company""\r \r Her - ""THEY DO NOT MAKE THE PART (Slams phone and hangs up)""\r \r Pros: Good selection Cons: VERY rude shopkeep (the lady) more
