A few years ago, while in Future Shop, I overheard a clerk tell a woman
she needed some expensive cables.  I told her she only needed the much
cheaper, basic cables that were on a different rack.  For some reason,
the clerk was a bit annoyed.  ;-)


I'm a bit leery of buying cables etc. at dollar stores.  While you may
get some good deals, you might also get garbage.
