Yes, I also find that Canada Computer's people-skill lacking.  That's
why I don't buy from there, unless it's < $10 which is my cost of gas
going to other place.

But, consider the people you're dealing with.  It's low paying job for
people with very little education.  That's true for any front-line
sales, and most definitely true where margin is low and they have to
rely on volume.
