Originally posted by Turbo_Spool900 I was at San Jose Camera yesterday and wasn't too fond of their prices. Everything I looked at could be had online at significantly cheaper prices. Not to mention the salesman that helped me out acted like I walked into his house and wiped my feet on his rug.
Not a happy man.
Amazon/B&H is the way to go.
I have been to that store a few times and for the most part they are friendly BUT the last time I was there during our normal conversation I nonchalantly said that I was going to buy from an on-line store because it will be a lot cheaper. This obviously angered the worker and he tried to tell me that I was making a mistake and his reasons were because you don't know what you're getting with on-line stores. "It could be a counterfeit", "you'd be surprised how many people get ripped off buying on-line", "you do not get the return policy that a store offers", along with many other quotes. In any case the worker continued to "harass" me about buying on-line until I pretty much told him that he may be correct for people that have no idea what they are doing and that I in fact do know what to look for. I ended the conversation by telling him that retail stores need to be price competitive with on-line stores if they wish to stay in business. He didn't like that comment either. I think I am no longer welcome in SJ Camera, haha.
