The last time I went to a Fry's was 2-3 years ago. I needed a very specific cable that was somewhat obscure. Their teenage employees couldn't help me and after searching it was nowhere to be found in their giant store. What's the point of having such a big store if you can't become the place for that kind of thing?

I bought the cable later that day on Amazon for $6. It came two days later and worked perfectly. That was when I knew Fry's was probably doomed.

Although it's interesting to me that Microcenter seems to be doing better. I think on average their stores are definitely smaller.
