[nabs-l] Ah HA! I found the cooperate!

[Chun Chao]

I usually do a little of both whenever I shop for electronics or appliances.
By first looking it up online allows me to at least get an idea of what best
fits my needs.
That way, I know what to look for when I physically go to the store and can
"get right to the point" with the sales person on particular devices or
models that I want to take a look at.
More often than not retailers have floor models on display that you can
tactilely explore.
If the particular floor model is unavailable, the sales person is usually
good with letting me know that what I saw online is an internet special
only.
My favorites are Sears, Office Depot, Best Buy, and Costco depending on the
kind of electronic or appliance that I am looking for as well as which store
is offering the best deal at the time.

Hi,
So you shopped in the store; I like this better because you can chat with a
sales rep then.
Did they let you touch the appliances? Sometimes they are in boxes which
doesn't help us as we cannot see the  pictures. Glad they were nice to you.

Despite the setback, I am glad to say that Best Buy, Home Depot, and Sears
are all very accessible when shopping for home appliances.
I ended up going with Sears in that when I visited the stores in addition to
looking up the appliances online, the Sears staff treated me with courtesy
as a client and not react otherwise because I am a blind person.
