    I’ve never been inside one without buying something, it’s true.

    I miss physical computer part stores. There isn’t any for a thousand miles here.

        I live so close to a Microcenter that it’s closer than any other store or restaurant besides a gas station. It’s a 5 minute walk if you cut through the woods, and a few minutes drive. Going to Microcenter to pickup an extension cord is sublime.

    I could easily spend a large fortune in MicroCenter. I am so fortunate they opened one in my city. I almost never go to worst buy any more.

    I do not appreciate how intrusive and demanding they are about knowing who you are and where you live. Do you really need my phone number when I’m paying cash for a cheap generic thumb drive? And now I think they will not price match unless they have that info. Drop all this customer tracking and I would love them completely.

    I am lucky my MicroCenter is in the worst parking lot in the city. It’s a local meme how awful this parking lot. I’ve probably saved a few thousand by refusing to drive that lot.
