Some of my worst retail memories are of moments spent at CompUSA. Bad prices. Bad selection. Customer anti-service. Don’t even think about returns. Walking into a CompUSA store is just about the polar opposite of walking into, say, an Apple store.

Well, it’s in the deadpool now. They’re closing all of their remaining 103 stores.

The upside of all of this is that the stores will likely be selling all their stuff at big discounts.

Have a particularly egregious story to share about CompUSA? Tell me all about it. You’ll feel better after the purge.
