I've never been inside one without buying something, it's true.

I never go unless I need something. But I never leave with only what I need.

I have, seeing the line 50 people long negates my desire to purchase anything.

I miss physical computer part stores. There isn't any for a thousand miles here.

My city has two Microcenters

Now you're just flexing lol

I live so close to a Microcenter that it's closer than any other store or restaurant besides a gas station. It's a 5 minute walk if you cut through the woods, and a few minutes drive. Going to Microcenter to pickup an extension cord is sublime.

Our micro center was turned into a Walmart grocery 😭

I wish MC would open more locations in the US. They are not everywhere like best buy is. Not sure what their strategy is for brick and mortar but I hear very often from Americans that they wish they had a MC near them.

I could easily spend a large fortune in MicroCenter. I am so fortunate they opened one in my city. I almost never go to worst buy any more.

I do not appreciate how intrusive and demanding they are about knowing who you are and where you live. Do you really need my phone number when I'm paying cash for a cheap generic thumb drive? And now I think they will not price match unless they have that info. Drop all this customer tracking and I would love them completely.

I am lucky my MicroCenter is in the worst parking lot in the city. It's a local meme how awful this parking lot. I've probably saved a few thousand by refusing to drive that lot.

If you sneak up Rose Ave it isn't too terrible.
