    It's a _corporate chain_ for Christ's sake! Have you ever tried asking any of the sales staff a technical question?

    Creative Stereo-
    Circus City had the worst staff I've ever seen. They were more interested in listening to the car stereos and talking amongst themselves than helping people.
