www.bestbuy.com ...no human interaction required :-)

I buy nearly everything on-line and either have it shipped or pickup at the
store.  No one to bug me...no one pressing the "extended warranty".

www.ditcorp.com is about the only B&M I hit for parts that I need in town.
I don't ask to many questions just walk in grab what I need and hit the
counter.
