And it's damned accurate - I've compared a half dozen small quantity items at a time, and yup, the website inventory is bang on what I find in the store. Very handy for those last-minute electronics projects (amazingly, they still sell a few things in that vein).
2. What you describe sounds exactly like what I get every single time I go to Future Shop or Best Buy (plus a hundred other places these days). My favourite is when I'm at the counter, and the cute girl working their asks for my phone #. They never tell you WHY, they just say "can I get your phone #?". I'm getting pretty good on the "howabout I get yours and call you first" type of comeback. Most of them just stare in shock.

Yeah unfortunately I had just gone to Futureshop and bought an adapter that kept getting rejected by my deck, so I just called the source, otherwise I would have checked the website.
I remember Futureshop sales people being a bit much back in the day, they don't seem as bad now, but this was over the top, he was seriously like a robot with a perma almost-smile and 70s stache... he basically seemed like it was his first day on the job, after finally moving out of his mom's basement (he was probably 45).
I kind of want to go back now, just for fun.
