I actually went to Radio Shack and didn't get the bullshit runaround like I normally do when I run in for parts I need right away

What's your phone number?

What's your zip code?

What's your favorite color?

Not a question asked except as I walked past on my way to the fuses and he didn't follow me either

I wish everything was sold through vending machines.  I guess that's why Amazon gets about 80% of my non-food business.

Same here. I buy almost all my stuff on Amazon.

I have yet to catch the internet buying bug but at times I feel the same way.  I do like to see what I am getting physically and touch it before I buy but I rarely if ever need help selecting what I want.  If a purchase requires question and answer session with a rep I bring my wife :green:

I like to leaf through the books I consider buying but I still buy most of them from Amazon.

Amazon lets you leaf through most of their books now.  At least most of the ones I have looked into buying.

I always buy my books from Amazon too. Sometimes get them for just a few dollars. But they also have a few rare books that I would love to own, if it were not for a few hundred dollars :P

Yes, and it's a lot better than nothing. But I like to hold the book in my hands, too.

I like to know the scent and feel of a book.

Talked to a very nice old man at his tag sale and bought a few tools from him.  Had lots of common interests and I ended up spending twenty minutes there

I'll go to the store and look at what I want to buy, then go home and buy it for cheaper online. (Plus no sales tax.) I've actually ordered things from amazon online while I'm in a store looking at it.
