I usually just ask one of the kids working there, you let them put a sticker on what your buying and they get a commission so it's a win-win to me. I go to the one near me every couple weeks and buy something mostly because I can't imagine living without a decent computer parts store to browse in. Heck I bought a DJI drone there it was the same price as on amazon so why not? Support a physical store or they will disappear.

Exactly. Even though finding the part I was looking for (a LiPo charging circuit) was a pain, it was still priced the same as if it was online, and I could get it fast. And yes, the kid that helped find a locked up RPi pico for me was extremely excited to tag the rest of my stuff.
If I want to make sure that the store is still around, it’s important to keep supporting it. That’s been my basic COVID lesson.
