Does that place have a brothel in the back or something? It looks like a foreign bride outfit or something... I'd say 95% of the employees are foreign with heavy accents... some are freaking hot too

Anyone ever work there? What's the dealio?

 

maybe its owned by someone of that nationality, whatever that may be. whats the big confusion.

please tell me you have actually left the states. y'know, to like, another country... and everything.

 

I've thought about this too (though I haven't seen a hot one yet). Most of the women are either Indian or Asian. My theory is this, most of these women came over here b/c their husbands have some sort of sponsored tech job. The wives need a job, so why not work at a place that is sort of tech related and get a discount (assuming that employees do get discounts) on puter stuff.

 

If they're mail order brides, they're ugly as sin.... :x It's because they don't mind getting paid minimum wage.

 

My friend used to work at the Frys in Sacramento. It is a full time only job... so for all of them, they do not go to school.

The guys who write up the price quotes and help you out are paid on commission so they will jump over each other to write you up a quote on a flat screen TV or computer. The cashiers are also paid based on how much they ring up. The guys selling appliances like refridgerators and washing machines make the most commission. It's all very political where they will stick you in a department depending on who you know and your pay will pretty much be dependant on how much you sell. New people do not get to do sales.

I think something like if you work over 10 years, you get some special bonus and into their pension plan which is something a lot of them are waiting for.

 

Being a former employee, I can tell you why so many foreigners work there. It's easy to get a job there, in fact, just about any person can get a job there - regardless of background or skill. Secondly, they hire people for peanuts. They pay their sales associates minimum wage + comission. Comission there sucks too - unless you work in audio/video where there is a huge margin on all products. Lastly, everyone there is expendible; if you mess up, you're gone and easily replaced.

 

Actually, I have been to France, Canada, and Mexico.
In the U.S. (bay area), I'm the one who looks like a foreigner hhahaa

But seriously, I have no issue with Fry's using foreign labor... just wondering why or if there was some specific reason... you don't see that at any other tech store... and I love Fry's by the way... it's always been like that for as long as I can remember.

 

The Palo Alto store is full off foreign workers of both genders, at least last I checked

 

mail order brides you say? i may have to investigate

on a side note, when i went to Lake Tahoe, i noticed most of the people working there were eastern european. most had thick accents.

 

If u like smelly fobs w/ mustaches then yeah, go get ur groove on.... :rotfl:

 

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but in the middle east, women were not expected to have career jobs, and therefore they don't always have a full education. Frys is an easy place to get a job for people in this position.

 

I thought the red dot means they were on sale.

 

The fremont Fry's had some hotties last time I went (a couple weeks ago).

The Best Buy at McCarthy Ranch (237 & 880) has a bunch of hotties. I want to buy a DLP every week from there. /o_o\

 

HHahhahahah ... didn't notice any dots though
