I'm EXACTLY the opposite. There's a Fry's just down the street from my job but I hardly ever go there. Occasionally I buy BD's there but usually only when Amazon is out of stock or I don't feel like waiting a week for a disc. The wife and I bought a TV from Fry's about 5 years ago but I've never had a good experience with their salespeople. Just about everyone that works at the one by my work, (Brokaw in San Jose, which is their headquarters I believe) is an immigrant which leads me to wonder if they don't pay very well. Also the salespeople have almost NO product knowledge.
Frys wasn't like that when they started, but when they started to expand they got like that, just like any other place. No, they likely don't pay well, and neither does Best Buy, which is why their staff are like that. I still prefer Frys, but if I can get it off Amazon, I do. With Prime, I don't wait a week for
anything 
I mean, how can you go wrong with $4 for 1 day shipping and 2 day shipping is FREE (Amazon items)??! I've had bad experiences at Frys but also good ones, and the same with Best Buy, so there's not much difference there. I think the one in Sunnyvale on Arquez is the headquarters.
The only reason I'd go to Fry's is if I already knew exactly what I wanted and they had a better price.
THIS, except that Best Buy is EXACTLY the same in that respect
Doesn't matter which one it is, I pretty much always know more than the salesperson because I've already done my homework.
